How to make Jalebi?

What you will need:
1. Cooking oil for deep frying
2. 1/2 cup buttermilk 
3. 1/4 tsp saffron
4. Water (may not be needed)
5. 1 tsp warm ghee 
6. 1 1/2 cups sugar (Powdered)
7. 2 cups all purpose flour (Maida)

What you will need to do:
1. Add sugar to a flat based pan and put it on low heat. Add water slowly while mixing, until you get a one string syrup.
2. Add saffron. Mix well.
3. Mix 1 cup of refined flour and buttermilk in medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir until smooth. Add water only if necessary.
4. Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.
5. Add remaining flour the next morning, with the ghee.
6. Put this mixture into a plastic bag and punch a small hole at the other end. This should be so you can squeeze the dough out like one squeezes toothpaste out of a tube.
7. Heat oil in a wok.
8. Pour batter into pan in concentric circles, to make spiral shapes.
9. Fry until the spiral shapes turn crisp and golden brown.
10. Remove from pan (2 or 3 at a time) and put them into the syrup for about 1 minute.
11. Ensure that they are coated well on both sides. Repeat with remaining Jalebi
12. Serve it hot to make it taste better.
