📌For Garnishing

📌Instructions

🍃1. Prepare the Matcha Jalebi Batter

In a ceramic matcha bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornflour, matcha powder and instant yeast. Add yoghurt and gradually pour in lukewarm water while mixing until you get a smooth, thick but pipeable batter.

🍃2. Rest the Batter

Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until it becomes slightly bubbly.

🍃3. Prepare the Sugar Syrup

Add sugar and water to a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup becomes slightly sticky. Add cardamom powder, saffron strands, and lemon juice. Keep the syrup warm.

🍃4. Fry the Mini Matcha Jalebis

Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small opening. Heat ghee or oil in a flat pan over medium heat. Pipe small spiral-shaped jalebis and fry until crisp on both sides.

🍃5. Dip the Jalebis in Syrup

Remove the fried jalebis and immediately dip them into the warm sugar syrup for 20-30 seconds. Remove and allow the excess syrup to drip off. Keep aside.

🍃6. Prepare the Strawberry Latte

Take a glass and add strawberry syrup or fresh strawberry puree. Mix well to create a smooth strawberry base.

🍃7. Assemble the Latte

Take a glass and add strawberry syrup or fresh strawberry puree. Mix well to create a smooth strawberry base.

🍃8. Add the Matcha Jalebi Garnish

Thread 2-3 mini Matcha Jalebis onto a small skewer. Rest the skewer across the top of the glass or position it alongside the latte.

🍃9. Garnish and Serve

Add fresh strawberry slices or crushed pistachios if desired. Your Matcha Jalebi with Strawberry Latte is ready to enjoy!
