Jalebi Pancake
The Jalebi pancake is inspired by the famous Indian Jalebi dessert, which is a crispy, spiral-shaped fried dough soaked in honey or sugar syrup. Jalebi is one of the most popular Indian street sweets, often enjoyed during festive occasions and festivals. The Jalebi pancake version is slightly thicker than the traditional spiral-shaped Jalebi, but offers the same sweet and crispy texture. Flavored with cardamom and pistachios, it has an even richer flavor, making it a perfect choice as a dessert or sweet breakfast.

Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the flour, semolina, sugar, baking powder, yeast, and ground cardamom.
2
Add the yogurt and water, then mix until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
3
Heat a deep skillet over medium heat and add plenty of oil for frying.
4
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the oil in a spiral shape, or transfer to a piping bag and pipe in a circular motion.
5
Fry the Jalebi pancake for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
6
Remove the fried pancakes and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
7
Immediately drizzle with honey or sugar syrup so that the hot pancake absorbs the sweet flavors.
8
Sprinkle with sliced pistachios and serve fresh.
