Jangiri Recipe Card
The highly developed and sensitive palates of the Tamilians are well chronicled in the Sangam classics. They believe that food should ideally cater to all the six tastes - bitter, pungent, sweet, salty, sour and astringent.
Tamil Nadu has a wide variety of delicious food both for the vegetarians as well as the non-vegetarians, though most of it is made of grains, lentils, rice and vegetables. Spices are added to give a distinctive taste. Rice has been the staple diet of the Tamilians, an inculcated habit, due to the large-scale cultivation of the crop in the state.
Chettinad cuisine, a speciality in Tamil Nadu, is famous for its hot and spicy non-vegetarian food. A part of the Mudaliar community is non-vegetarians and its cuisine is delightfully spicy without being too hot. Wet masalas are generally used, the main ingredients being fresh coconut paste and ground ginger-garlic.

Ingredients for Jangiri Recipe
Split black gram skinless 1 cup
Rice 1/4 cup
Edible orange red colour as required
Sugar 5 cups
Green cardamoms 6
Saffron (kesar) 1/4 gram
Rose essence 6 drops
Ghee to fry
Method
Step 1
Soak the dal and rice together for about 45 minutes. Drain and grind with the colour to a soft, spongy mixture with a coarse texture.
Step 2
Sprinkle just enough water so that it does not become too thin. Grind the cardamom with 1 tablespoon sugar to a fine powder, sieve and keep aside.
Step 3
Boil sugar with 500 ml water and prepare syrup of single thread. Strain or clarify the syrup, add the saffron, rose essence and the cardamom powder.
Step 4
Remove from heat but keep syrup hot. Heat ghee/oil in a shallow flat kadai (jalebi kadai). Take one ladle full of batter in the Jangiri cloth, hold tightly and press the batter through the hole into the hot oil.
Step 5
For the traditional design, make a small circle, make scallops in anti-clockwise direction over the first circle. Then make another circle and end at the starting point.
Step 6
Make small batches and fry on both the sides till crisp and light golden brown. Drain the hot Jangiris and dip into the sugar syrup. Keep it pressed in till the Jangiri absorbs enough syrup.
Step 7
Drain the excess syrup and keep on a flat plate. Repeat this process till all the batter is used up.
