JANGRI
I don’t know when I started liking Jangri,but I love it like anything…That too,rose flavoured means I just love that divine smell…
My mom and I have tried one or two times back at home,before marriage,but never succeeded…
Recently when my mom visited to my place,she bought from Adyar anandha bhavan,the mini jangries,but that rose flavour was missing,as now a days,in sweet shops they use ghee for frying,mostly the ghee smell is dominating…then my mom suggested trying of my own…
Then I searched in you tube for videos for better understanding… Before also always this jangri will be in my back of mind and I have book marked our friend EC’s Jangris too…but you know,I was scared to try,if it doesn't comes out well… But when I saw Vah chef’s video,It gave me a lot of confidence and as my mom was with me we decided to try it out..I got a overall idea from the video and made one day!! To Our surprise it was not bad at all and we all were satisfied-that includes my husband(who is not fond of jangris), and my son,who loves it just like me
.It was very easy for me to make jangri,this is the fourth time I am making….but you know very difficult to take pics,gazillion times i had to wash hands and take pics…
.But its okay,its for my future reference and for you all,so I can forget abt it 
.And I am assuring you all,that it will come out well if tried with interest…Not very complicated!! Do try it once and let me know
.
Ingredients:(yields 30 medium sized jangris)
| Whole white urad dal/Muzhu ulutham paruppu | 3/4 cup |
| Rice flour (optional) | 1 tsp |
| Orange food colour | 1/2 pinch |
| Salt | A pinch |
For Sugar syrup:
| Sugar | 3/4 cup |
| water | Just to immerse the sugar |
| Lemon juice | 1/2 tsp |
| Rose essence | 4 drops |
| Orange food colour | A pinch |
Method:
- Soak urad dal for 2 hrs and grind with very little water as we do for grinding vadas.( Approximately less than 1/4 cup).The batter should be fluffy and smooth).Mix a pinch of salt,food colour and rice flour(if desired) and mix well.
- Heat the sugar with water just to immerse it and after it starts boiling,let it boil for 3-4 minutes.Add lemon juice,food colour and lastly essence and mix well and switch off the stove. Take a zip lock cover and make a hole with a thin nail as shown in the picture.The hole should be very tiny.
- Fill half the cover with the batter and first practice doing in a plate…Draw two circle as shown and over it,draw small swirl like circles over it.Just practice 2-3 times you will get it right.
- Then heat a broad,flat bottomed pan(keep the flame in low) with only little oil say 1 inch depth.
- The oil should not get fully heated,when it starts forming small,small bubbles in the bottom,then draw jangris in the oil,repeat the same to make many.
- Once the jangris gets cooked and becomes light,turn over and cook till crisp and then take out carefully and transfer to the sugar syrup. I used Chop sticks for this,which works out very well.You can use the one they use for turning paniyaram…Dunk the fried jangris in hot sugar syrup for 1-2 minutes and take out carefully and arrange it a plate.Give a 1/2 hour standing time.
Ready to enjoy!!!
This is like my long time dream come true,I am satisfied with the taste,so if you too carve for jangris,please do try at home and let me know….

Hi,

I stay a stone's throw away from one of the A2B outlets but I would do anything to get a home made Jhangri..yummyyyy.looks very very pretty Raks.Step by step pics are a boon.Way to go!!
Ur recipe has a force to push us in the kitchen and with the help of yours pictures the outcome is going to be real sweet.
I made jangri(we call it Imarti)at last..yyaayy and my 21/2 year old son wanted more more more...I'm posting pictures in my blog.
Thank u very much.
Bhawna!You made my day! Thank you so much for your lovely words first of all and keeping belief in my post,trying out and giving feed back too!
They look absloutley great.
Do you think I can make them 2 days before and serve the on the third day.
Hubby is giving a lecture and they would like that I prepare some Indian snacks and sweets. And this will be a good idea if i can make the ahead.
HC ,yes you can make two days before and refrigerate :) Sorry for my late response,just saw and replying :)
Rakha thankyou for the reply. First i will try a small batch before i make a lot, will let you know wheni make them.
This is indeed very useful blog for the people who want to prepare jangri, delicious and nutritious indian sweet. A lot of thanks!
Thanks for the receipe, I tried it today and they look good, I have to taste it. My sugar syrup was little thin. The syrup got over and I had to remake.

Thank you Sudha for gving feedback after trying :),hope it tasted too gud:)
Hi Raks, my mom and me tried this out for Deepavali and it came out pretty good! Thank you for the helpful pictures and this easy recipe - will post the results as soon as I can.
Thank you Laavanya!! Glad that you both liked :)
I remember drooling over these jangris earlier...I must muster up the courage to try these.
You have a beautiful blog and the pictures are lovely and descriptive. Keep up the good work!
THAT WAS SOMETHING GREAT YOU ACHIEVED.....JANGRI LOOKING AS IF BOUGHT FROM A SWEET SHOP !!!!!!!!!!!
LOOKS YUMMY AND BEAUTIFUL WAY TO MAKE IT...LIKE DRAWING...!!!!!!
A BIG HANDSHAKE TO YOU !!!!!!
this post inspires one to try it; you have made it look so simple and easy! thank you!
I tried out the jangri.can you
please tell me how long should I fry the jangris.Mine became soggy
and the syrup didnt enter inside
fully.
What could have gone wrong?
Should the jangris be fried till really crisp?
Deepa
Try this,fry till the jangris are stiff enough,when you remove from oil it should be crisp(cook in low flame)
You must have took it before it turned stif...try cooking in low heat.
And as for sugar syrup not getting absorbed,you must keep in mind that both jangris and syrup should be hot enough. If so at no time the jangris absorb the syrup.
Or you can try dipping first in thin syrup and then again heating the syrup to one string consistency and again dipping the jangris in it.
Also the urad dal quality should be good.
Please try again in less quantity when you grind for vada and let me know.
You can also mail me at the email given in my profile. Feel free to contact me !
hai,
My son loves Jangiri so much. Ur recipe with photos and tips gave me confident to try. Today i tried ur recipe following step by step as per ur photos and tips. It came out so well. We enjoyed the jangiris.
Thanks a lot.
Hi Abi,
Thanks so much for taking time to write it here,glad that your kid enjoyed :)
Hi Raks! Your jangri's look awesome! I just made some following sanjay thumma's recipe, and wanted to ask you something. My jangri's taste like sweet vadai, if you know what I mean. 'Uzhundu vasanai" romba dominating aa irukku..did you face this issue? How did you overcome that?
Hi Ambika, I know what you mean, when me and my mom used to try first time we too got the same problem.. To my knowledge,if the jeera dint get absorbed by the jangri properly,then it smells so,I am now a days adding rose essence and the crisp texture(light and hallow) helps to absorb the jeera completely inside and it smells good like jangri :) What you add for flavor?
Hey Raks, thanks for the reply! I also added rose essence and cardamom powder. But I guess that was the problem, my sugar syrup might have been too thick and did not get absorbed very well, will keep that in mid the next time :) And do you know how to make milk/nei mysorepak (the very soft melt in your mouth mysorepak) Raks?? I see so many sweets on your blog, so I thought I could ask you!
Slurp.... mouthwatering thakudu sonna madhiri nejamavey.
Dear Raks,
Thanks for the lovely and flawless recipe!! I tried it for diwli and it was true pleasure to make a traditional sweet like this in my kitchen.
will post it soon! Thanks again:)
Sharmi,thank you for such sweet words and the feedback :) Am feeling so happy!! :)
Bookmarked! This one has set the blogosphere on a new fire :) Thanks a ton Raks! Wish me luck am soon going to try this one.
Wish you all the best and best of luck ;) :)
The Jangiri's look awesome!!!..It is one of my favourite too. I tried it few times with sucsess...Now after seeing your pictures, it is tempting me to do it again.

Raji kalakureenga... I thought I can never cook such items but with your receipe cooking has become my interest today ...I am here in UK and i did not get the food colour.. I just prepared white jangiris and it came out well...all my friends here liked it and they had it in jiffy and the box became empty in no time...my hearty thanks to you. Sumathy Rajesh.
Raji kalukureenga....
I never thought i could prepare such sweets at home. You inspired me to cook...I did not get the food colour here in Belfast ( UK) and I did not use any colour... my white jangiris tasted delicious and all my friends loved it and emptied the box in a jiffy...whole hearted thanks. Sumathy Rajesh
Sumathy,
I am so glad you tried it and it came out well and you all liked it,it was a pleasant surprise when you guys called and thanked,its a wonderful feeling to get such appreciation and thanks a lot for writing here...you made my day :)
Hi Raji,
This is the only food blog which i visit often and even tried making some of your recipes especially your sweets... the pictures of your sweets really tempt not only me but also my friends as i suggested them to visit your blog for fantastic recipes... i tried making jangris as per your instructions thrice... i got it right and perfect in my 3rd attempt... my hubby appreciated me and said it tasted like adyar ananda bhavan jangris... :-) lots n lots of thanks to you...
Hi Raji,
Thanks a lot for this recipe. I have followed it and it came out nice. I have posted it in my blog today. Please take a look.
Thanks so much Divya for the nice words,happy that it came out good :)
Thanks gayathri :)
Hi Raji,
I found your space via Ria (the badushas to be precise!!!). what a lovely collection. the jangiri is out of the world. hoping to make the badushas today.
Hi,
You explained step by step with pictures.So nice.Thanks for your posts
Hi Raks,
Yummy Jangris. Should we keep 1 string consistency for the sugar syrup? I am confused because in Vahchef's video it is said so but in your recipe you have not explicitly mentioned. Please reply.
Yes you can take it as one string consistency
I tried this today for my husband's birthday,taste was great but I could not get the shape right so just made circles :( as soon as I made big circle the jangri would run away so I could not draw small circles then I understood why you said oil must be low heat,anyways next time I will try! Thank you soo much!
Hi appu, you can also try making mini jangris,no need to draw in pattern,just can make it like the mini jangris we get in Adyar Ananda Bhavan...
That was a brilliant one!!!!!!!!Jus loved it...am reading your posts for sometime...and you jus have a wonderful love for cooking...display ...above all patience to show us all....Kudos n Thanks.....Luv ..Vidya
hi
i wanted to try this recipe. I have a doubt can u pls tell me how much time u required to grind the dal. Because when i grind i am not sure how much it should be smooth, so just to know how much u take to grind the dal & how to know that we exactly reached the consistency while grinding.
hi i tried out the jangiris from your blog. They came out very well, thank u so much for the recipe. pls check them out here..http://happy-bowl.blogspot.com/2011/09/mini-jangiri.html
sorry i gave the wrong link this is the right link. ahttp://happy-bowl.blogspot.com/2011/09/mini-jagiri.html
Dear Raji,
I made these Jangris today and they came out good. Not as good as yours but not bad either, considering it was my first attempt...Thank you so much for the recipe and the steb-by-step procedures...Happy Diwali!!!
hi , i tried out jangri it was good but my sugar syrup gets crystalized(i had one string consitency)can u give me a suggestion
Hi koks, Did you add lemon juice? Try boiling with more water for longer time and donot stir in between, this will definitely give you a syrup like honey.
Thank you raks, i added lemon juice yaar,i will try with more water next time
turned out good..thanks for the recipe. only thing was i kinda got a taste of urad dal in the end of the bite...any suggestions? thanks.
Hi raks,
I tried ur jhangri recipe th shape everything was good but by jhangris didn't cook inside ,when eating i could taste the rawness,but next batch when i fried them a little bit bore they became very stiff like murukku,if u have any suggestions i would appreciate them.
thank you,u r wonderful,
naveena
hi raks,
yesterday i saw your jangri recipe. i was scared little bit to do since i did not have grinder (iam in US so no grinder). i grinded the batter in mixie. it came out perfectly well. the consistency came out just right as vada batter. still i added rice flour a bit. the jangiri came out perfectly well. guess what my husband said, he said it is better than the shops we buy (the best). all the credits goes to u, raks. i followed your other recipes like cabbage kootu, Naan, rasgulla, peas paratha, aloo bindi masala,badhusha the list goes on. it all came out very well. i feel your recipes are very interesting, the step by step procedures are explained & photos are taken which makes cooking easier for us.than u so much
Shimz, if u eat just after finishing, it happens, keep it for a day in fridge and probably that might help.
Chinni, was your batter fluffy and light? may be the batter was too tight... try with a better quality urad dal and the batter should be not too thick and heavy.
Shweta,
Thanks so much for your feedback, it made my day :)
Hiii Raks,
I am Sruthi. I just wanna say... "YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION" to everyone. Your pictures and words sound soo simple, that we are tempted to try.
As mentioned in the above comments, even I usually do not get the sugar syrup correct. One mistake I was doing all these days that I do not add lemon, and also stir in between. Soo with in no time it gets hardened. I should again pour more water and get it to the consistency I need.
If it's possible please tell me how much time it will take to get the correct consistency, If I follow the quantities as you mentioned.
I tried many many of your recipes. Thanks to you... and lots of hugsss...
-Sruthi.
