- Sift the flour and rice flour into a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast on the hot water in a small bowl, leave to soften for 5 min and stir to dissolve.
- Put saffron strands in a c. and pour the boiling water over. Leave to soak for 10 min.
- Pour dissolved yeast and saffron with its soaking water into a measuring jug. Add in tepid water to make up 2 1/4 c.. Stirring with a wooden spoon, add in the measured liquid to the flour and beat well till batter is very smooth. Add in lowfat yoghurt and beat again. Leave to rest for 1 hour. Batter will start to become frothy. Beat vigorously again before starting to fry jelebis. (While batter stands make syrup and leave it to become just hot).
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan and when warm use a funnel to pour in the batter, making circles or possibly figures of eight. Frying, turning once, till crisp and golden brown on both sides. Lift out on a slotted spoon, let the oil drain for a fews seconds, then drop the warm jelebi into the syrup and soak it for a minute or possibly two. Lift out of the syrup (using another slotted spoon) and put on a plate to drain.
- Syrup: Heat sugar and water over low heat, stirring till sugar dissolves.
- Raise heat and boil hard for 8 min; syrup should be just thick sufficient to spin a thread. Remove from heat, allow to cold till lukewarm, flavour with rose essence (about 1.2 tsp of good quality essence is sufficient) and colour a bright orange with food colouring.
- *Jelebis are coils of crisply fried batter with a rose-scented syrup inside the coils. How the syrup gets into the coils is a mystery unless you do some research on the subject.
