Notes
Note: Do not boil the syrup for too long, as it will end up being thick.
Add 1 teaspoon milk to this boiling sugar syrup so that dirt in sugar syrup comes up in froth and can be removed after straining it via strainer. If the jalebi is not coming out in a good shape, try bringing the ghee/oil to a lower tempreture,also the bottle used to pipe the jalebi should be easily squeezable.
