The consistency of the batter is crucial; it should be thick but flowing.
Fermenting the batter overnight gives a nice texture and flavor to the jalebis.
The sugar syrup should be warm when soaking the jalebis.
Adding a little lemon juice to the sugar syrup prevents it from crystallizing.
You can add food color if you want a more vibrant color, but turmeric works well for a natural hue.
Serve hot with rabri or milk for an authentic taste.
