Ingredients

Ingredients
2 apples, peeled and sliced them in thin rings
3/4 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon oil
oil, to fry
For Syrup
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
For Garnish
1 tablespoon blenched and sliced pistachios

Preparation

Batter:
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup warm water, and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Mix the flour and oil together.
Add the yeast solution to the flour and mix. Make a smooth batter. Add water as needed. Consistency should be like pancake mix.
Set the batter aside and let it sit in a warm place for half hour.
Make sure the batter is fermented, but do not over ferment. After fermenting batter will be little lacy.
Syrup:
Boil the sugar and water together. Add the lemon juice, and cardamom boil for about 8 minutes until syrup is about 1/2 thread. Lemon juice keeps the mixture from crystallizing.
Making the jalebis:
Heat the oil in a frying pan about 1 inch deep.
Dip the apple slices into the batter one at a time, making sure the slice is covered with the batter. Then, slowly drop the slices into the frying pan.
The jalebi will take about 4 to 5 minutes to cook.
Turn them occasionally. Fry the jalebi until both sides are golden-brown.
Transfer them into the warm syrup.
Let jalebi soak in the hot syrup for a few seconds.Than take them out and Garnish with sliced pistachios.
Serve hot.
