ADD FOOD COLOR (IF USING) AND WATER TO FORM A FLOWING CONSISTENCY BATTER. ADD UP TO 3/4 WATER DEPENDING ON QUALITY OF MAIDA AND BESAN. COVER THE BATTER AND LET IT SIT FOR 10-12 HOURS TO FERMENT. YOU WILL SEE SMALL BUBBLES ON TOP OF THE BATTER ONCE IT HAS FERMENTED.

2. Prepare the syrup AFTER SITTING, WHISK THE BATTER A LITTLE. YOU MAY NEED TO ADD A LITTLE WATER [AROUND 1 TABLESPOON] IF THE BATTER LOOKS TOO THICK AT THIS POINT. MEANWHILE ADD SUGAR TO A PAN. ADD WATER AND MIX WITH SUGAR AND LET IT ALL COME TO A BOIL. ONCE IT COMES TO A BOIL, ADD CARDAMOM POWDER, SAFFRON STRAND AND LEMON JUICE. LET IT SIMMER UNTIL THE SYRUP BECOMES STICKY AND FORMS A ONE-STRING CONSISTENCY (TO TEST: PLACE A DROP OF SYRUP IN BETWEEN YOUR THUMB AND INDEX FINGER AND THEN WHEN YOU MOVE FINGERS AWAY FROM EACH OTHER, IT SHOULD FORM A SINGLE THREAD).

3. Fry the Jalebi dough TRANSFER THE JALEBI BATTER INTO A SQUEEZE BOTTLE. HEAT OIL OR GHEE IN A PAN OR KADAI. KEEP HEAT TO MEDIUM-LOW. SQUEEZE BATTER IN HOT OIL, MAKING SPIRAL MOTION FROM INSIDE TO OUTSIDE. REMEMBER TO KEEP AT LOW HEAT OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FORM THE SHAPE. IF THE BATTER IS DISPERSING IN THE OIL IT IS TOO THIN AND YOU NEED TO ADD SOME FLOUR TO IT. ONCE YOU HAVE MADE THE SPIRAL SHAPE WITH THE BATTER INCREASE THE HEAT TO MEDIUM-HIGH. FRY UNTIL CRISP ON BOTH SIDES. REMOVE FROM OIL AND IMMEDIATELY DIP IN WARM SUGAR SYRUP, A FEW SECONDS ON EACH SIDE IS GOOD ENOUGH. REMOVE JALEBI'S FROM THE SUGAR SYRUP AND TRANSFER TO A SERVING PLATE.

4. To serve REMOVE JALEBIS FROM THE SUGAR SYRUP AND TRANSFER TO A SERVING PLATE. ENJOY HOMEMADE JALEBI WITH MILK OR RABRI. YOU MAY GARNISH WITH SOME NUTS ON TOP!

2. Cooking HALF FILL A SAUCEPAN WITH WATER AND BRING TO THE BOIL ON A HIGH HEAT. ADD POTATOES AND BOIL FOR 15-20 MINUTES UNTIL COOKED (SOFT THROUGH WHEN CHECKED WITH A KNIFE).

ADD OIL TO A FRYING PAN AND HEAT TO A HIGH HEAT. ADD ONIONS AND SAUTE FOR 2-3 MINUTES. ADD THE REST OF THE VEGETABLES AND COOK FOR 2-3 MINUTES. ADD THE BEEF AND COOK UNTIL THERE IS NO VISIBLE PINK - BREAK DOWN LARGE LUMPS AS YOU COOK IT. ADD WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE AND STOCK AND SIMMER TO REDUCE AND THICKEN THE SAUCE.

3.

DRAIN WATER OFF THE POTATOES. ADD SOME BUTTER AND MILK AND MASH UNTIL THERE ARE NO LUMPS REMAINING. ADD SEASONING TO THE MINCE MIXTURE ON THE PAN - TASTE AND ADJUST IF NECESSARY.

4.

SPOON THE MEAT MIXTURE INTO A BAKING DISH. THEN PIPE OR SPOON THE MASHED POTATOES ON TOP - MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO GAPS SO THAT THE MINCE SAUCE DOES NOT SPILL OUT THROUGH THE MASH WHEN BAKING. BRUSH THE POTATO LAYER WITH MILK - THIS WILL CREATE A NICE CRISPY GOLDEN BROWN LAYER. BAKE IN THE OVEN FOR 20-25 MINUTES UNTIL THE POTATOES ARE LIGHTLY BROWNED.

FOR THE GRILLED VEGETABLES:

Method 1. Preparation YOU WILL NEED TEN 1-INCH METAL SKEWERS. FOR BEST RESULTS THE MEAT SHOULD BE FRESH (NOT PREVIOUSLY FROZEN) AND AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. FINELY CHOP THE ONION PIECES IN A FOOD PROCESSOR UNTIL VERY JUICY. PLACE A FINE METAL MESH OVER A BOWL AND STRAIN THE PROCESSED ONION BY PRESSING IT WITH A SPATULA. DISCARD THE JUICE. ADD THE REMAINING ONION PULP TO A MEDIUM BOWL. ADD THE GROUND BEEF AND LAMB, MINCED GARLIC, SALT, SPICES AND EGG TO THE BOWL. KNEAD ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES UNTIL THE MIXTURE IS PASTE LIKE AND STICKS TOGETHER WITHOUT FALLING APART. FILL UP A SMALL BOWL WITH TAP WATER, THIS IS FOR WETTING YOUR FINGERS SO THE MEAT DOES NOT STICK TO THEM WHEN YOU ARE MAKING THE KABOBS. DIVIDE THE MEAT INTO 10 EQUAL BALLS.

2. Assemble Skewers GET ONE OF THE BALLS OF MEAT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND, PLACE THE SKEWER ON TOP OF IT AND SQUEEZE THE MEAT AROUND THE SKEWER. ONCE YOU MAKE SURE THAT THE MEAT IS NOT GOING TO FALL OFF, START SQUEEZING IT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND COVER THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE SKEWER. LEAVE THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE SKEWER CLEAR. WET YOUR FINGERS WITH THE TAP WATER AND KEEP SQUEEZING AND SPREADING THE MEAT EVENLY AROUND THE SKEWER. THE MEAT SHOULD BE ABOUT A

½ INCH THICK ALL AROUND THE SKEWER.

SET THE SKEWER GENTLY ON A SHALLOW BAKING SHEET WITH SIDES, SO THE MEAT DOES NOT TOUCH THE FLOOR OF THE BAKING SHEET. CONTINUE MAKING THE REST OF THE KABOBS. AT THIS POINT THE UNCOOKED KABOBS CAN SIT ON THE COUNTER WHILE YOU GET THE GRILL READY.

Method 3. Grill Vegetables IF YOU ARE GRILLING VEGETABLES IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO SKEWER THEM SEPARATELY FROM THE KABOBS. I USE THINNER SKEWERS FOR THE VEGETABLES BECAUSE IF THE SKEWERS ARE TOO WIDE THE TURGID VEGETABLES SUCH AS GREEN PEPPERS WILL TEAR AND FALL APART. THE VEGETABLES TAKE LONGER TO GRILL THAN THE MEAT, SO IF THE SPACE IS LIMITED, GRILL THE VEGETABLES FIRST AND KEEP THEM WARM UNDER AN ALUMINUM FOIL.

4. Grill Skewers YOU WILL NEED A GRILL WITH HOT COALS TO GRILL THE SKEWERS. PLACE AS MANY KABOB SKEWERS AS YOU CAN FIT ON THE GRILL, LEAVE SOME SPACE BETWEEN THEM. START TURNING THE FIRST SKEWER AND KEEP TURNING THE REST IN THE ORDER THAT YOU HAVE PLACED THEM ON THE GRILL. THE REASON FOR THIS QUICK TURNING IS TO COOK BOTH SIDES OF THE KABOBS FOR A SHORT TIME SO THE MEAT COOKS AND FIRMS UP ALL AROUND AND DOES NOT FALL OFF THE SKEWER. TURN THE KABOBS AGAIN UNTIL THEY ARE COOKED TO YOUR LIKING. THE KABOBS SHOULD HAVE A NICE GRILLED COLOR ON THE OUTSIDE AND ARE NO LONGER PINK INSIDE, BUT STILL VERY JUICY. WHEN THE KABOBS ARE READY, REMOVE THEM FROM THE HEAT AND PUT INTO A CONTAINER LINED WITH ALUMINUM FOIL. KEEP THE KABOBS COVERED WITH THE FOIL UNTIL READY TO SERVE.

5. Serve TO SERVE, USE A PIECE OF FLATBREAD LARGER THAN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND. START AT THE END WITH A HANDLE, GRAB THE KABOB AND SLIDE IT OFF THE SKEWER ONTO THE SERVING PLATTER. BRUSH MELTED BUTTER OVER THE KABOBS. ENJOY KABOB KOOBIDEH WITH PERSIAN RICE THAT HAS BEEN TOSSED WITH CUBED SOFTENED BUTTER AND A SPRINKLE OF SUMAC. SERVE IT WITH A SIDE OF GRILLED VEGETABLES, A SLICE OF RAW RED OR WHITE ONION AND SABZI KHORDAN (FRESH HERBS).

Method 1.

WASH, CLEAN AND DRY THE SPINACH LEAVES.

2.

IN A BOWL, MIX THE GRAM FLOUR AND ALL THE SPICES WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WATER. THE CONSISTENCY SHOULD BE LIKE PANCAKE BATTER, NOT TOO THIN AND NOT TOO THICK

3.

HEAT ABOUT A CUP OF OIL IN A DEEP WIDE PAN ONLY FOR SHALLOW FRYING. THE OIL NEEDS TO BE HEATED WELL. TO CHECK IF IT IS READY FOR FRYING, PUT A SMALL DROP OF THE BATTER INTO THE OIL AND SEE IF IT COOKS. IT SHOULD START CRAKLING AND COOKING. IF IT ISN’T, THEN OIL ISN’T HOT ENOUGH.

4.

DIP EACH SPINACH LEAF INTO THE BATTER AND PUT IT IN THE OIL FOR FRYING. IT SHOULDN’T TAKE MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO BE COOKED ON BOTH SIDES. DRAIN OIL AND REMOVE THE SPINACH LEAVES ON A PAPER TOWEL TO REMOVE ANY EXCESS OIL LEFT OVER.

5.

IN A SEPARATE BOWL, WHISK THE GREEK YOGURT WITH A PINCH OF SALT. DRIZZLE THE GREEK YOGURT ON TOP OF THE LEAVES AND THEN DRIZZLE IT WITH DIFFERENT CHUTNEYS. I USED DATE CHUTNEY ( EASILY AVAILABLE IN CARREFOUR) AND CORIANDER CHUTNEY.
