[@andersonramkissoon4792]

hi when making jelebi can i take out plain yogurt i can not use that will it come out good still.

[@trini-indiankitchen1540]

In the traditional recipe, the Urdi dhal gives the sour taste and crunchy texture right away. I'm for sure going to try this one though

[@ShivanaLovesCake]

Yummmm!! Now i'm craving this lol

[@veshmahlalwah334]

[@lonimohamed452]

Can you substitute cornstarch for something else?

[@shanaazmohammed7713]

[@Ellianahaspoken_]

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

[@Nyse102]

Thank you can’t wait to give it a try

[@tiffanykanhai765]

Hi Natasha, what does the yogurt do?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Gives it the sour taste without the overnight part.

[@ellisiataitt9790]

I always thought you needed the cardamon

[@sbmkoa]

After u dipped the jelabi in syrup did u put it on grease proof paper?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Yes but I would suggest a wire rack now.

[@sbmkoa]

@@TriniCookingwithNatasha brilliant thank you. My dough is done and being left over night. Cant wait to try them. I hear great things

[@leviniarolle9857]

[@Addictedtonailpaints]

Hey, this is a popular sweet/snack in India.. We have so many recipes on common. Do you know how??

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

our ancestors were from there . our country is so diverse and multicultural. my grandmother was also from India.

[@rasheedamootoo349]

Can you use sour cream in place of yogurt .

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

I haven't tested that, sorry.

[@virtuouswoman3862]

Hey Natasha, can the yogurt be omitted?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Yes . Let it sit overnight to get that sour taste.

[@virtuouswoman3862]

[@ettaphil9586]

Must it stay overnight, couldn't I just fry in about 2hrs after dough rests?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Sure you just wont get that sour taste

[@ettaphil9586]

@@TriniCookingwithNatasha oh! Ok, thanks!

[@trini-indiankitchen1540]

Is this the recipe that is now used to make jalebi? The one I posted is the purely traditional one with the Urdi dhal.

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

not sure I have been experimenting this is the best I came up with.

[@trini-indiankitchen1540]

yeah, I noticed that this is very similar to indian recipes as well.

[@riasingh1758]

Hi natasha! Does this taste like the one from debe?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

[@riasingh1758]

[@eianganesh343]

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Eian Ganesh you have to dip it in the sugar syrup right away

[@juliealexis8510]

Hi Natasha is the yogurt a must ,or one can leave it outqq

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Julie Alexis you can leave it out

[@joannekangalee3281]

hi Natasha I know you recommended the dough to be soured for an additional four days for a more intense sour flavour that i really like but could you please assure me I will be okay if I do that thank u

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Mizar Mizar I promise it will be fine I'm still alive 😊

[@PerfectNicolelyn]

[@Ellianahaspoken_]

Perfect Nicolelyn

[@Devinebeautyy]

You can find it in Brooklyn too, that's where i first tried it but i didn't like it. Maybe it taste better when they're fresh the one i had was in a package..

[@reannamohammed2235]

Hey can I use anything in place of the yogurt ??

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Reanna Mohammed omit it and let it sit covered at room temp longer.

[@reannamohammed2235]

[@reannamohammed2235]

Hey Natasha is it normal for d dough to smell sour? I did. Mine yesterday and when I now check it smell sour 😑

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Reanna Mohammed yes it smells sour.

[@salenamark]

Hi what did you use the cream of tartar for? BECAUSE I don't think I saw u use that..

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Salena Mark I put it in the sugar syrup , it helps make it taste sour.

[@salenamark]

Trini Cooking with Natasha is it absolutely necessary to use it???

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Salena Mark no

[@wallysingh276]
