Mini Jangiri recipe| Jhangiri recipe | Diwali sweets Jangri recipe with step by step photos and video recipe. Jhangiri is a traditional sweet recipe made with urad dal.
Making Jangri is very easy and just that little bit of practice and patience is needed. I felt its much more easier than ladoo or murukku. I personally love mini version and without the rose flavour. optionally you can also add rose essence to the sugar syrup.
factually, jangris are made with urad dal and jalebis are made with maida and yeast. but in tamilnadu in sweet shops, you will find mostly jangris in the name of jilebi. i was also a bit confused until quora answered me.
you will not be able to make flower pattern in the Mini jangris. just a few swirls starting from center 2 rounds outwards and then again to center. it makes it complete.
