  4. Aruna, the right consistency of the Jalebi batter leads to perfectly fried Jalebis. Add water gradually taking care the batter isn't too thick or too thin. The batter should be smooth and flowing.

  6. Archana, if you are sure that your batter is too thick to flow, you can gradually add a little water while mixing. It is advisable that you use proper measuring cups and spoons to be precise with the measurements. You have to put the fried jalebis in a strainer to allow the excess oil to drain off and let the jalebis cool down slightly. Then you can put the warm jalebis in warm sugar syrup for soaking. Putting the hot jalebis in hot sugar syrup can make the jalebis fall apart.

  8. Jay Shree Chander, please add water gradually while mixing the batter. When the batter turns smooth enough to flow and is still thick enough to stay together, then STOP. Don't add any more water. I don't know what sort of sauce bottle your were using. If you still intend to use a bottle, then use a squeezer with a narrow nozzle or please use a pastry bag. If you don't have a pastry bag at home. Then take a fine quality of plastic bag, fill the batter in it, squeeze the batter down to a edge, extract all the air out and tightly twist the bag to keep the batter well set on a edge side. Now cut a bit of the edge of the bag with a pair of scissors and use it to pip the Jalebi batter.
