2.5
Cups

Instructions
Chop Paneer / Cottage Cheese into smaller pieces and set aside.
Chop Carrot into smaller pieces and steam them until soft. Switch off the flame and set them aside to cool them down.
Blend the paneer and Carrot into a smooth paste in a blender. Add in the whole wheat flour and knead them into smooth dough.
Make small balls out of the dough. Roll each ball into a jalebi.
Heat enough oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot enough place the jalebis into hot oil and deep fry them.
Once they are done take them out of hot oil and place them in an absorbent paper for the excess oil to be absorbed.
For sugar Syrup
Heat water and sugar in a bowl. Once the sugar has dissolved completely and starts boiling add in cardamom powder/rosewater and saffron strands.
Switch off the flame. Allow them to cool down to warm mode.
Add in the deep fried jalebis. Allow it for 2 or 3 hours.
After 3 hours they are ready to serve.
Notes
The original recipe calls for the addition of some food colour I wanted to avoid this hence added steamed carrot.
deep fry the jalebis in medium heat.
