For the Jalebis
1/2 teaspoon plain all purpose flour
1 tablespoon chickpea flour
1/4 cup greek yogurt
3/4 to 1 cups water
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
oil for frying
Honey Syrup
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup water
several strands of Saffron
some sea salt

1
Mix the flour, chickpea flour, yogurt and water in a bowl for a few minutes until it is of a smooth and ribbon like consistency (If you lift some of the mix on a spoon, it should fall back into the bowl like a ribbon - continuous without breaking up too much.
2
Mix in the baking soda and set aside.
3
Meanwhile, in a pot, add the honey and water and bring to a boil. Then let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Put the flame off.
4
Take a shallow frying pan and add oil to about 1 inch deep.
5
Let it heat for 5 to 7 minutes. To test if the oil is ready, sprinkle a tiny drop of the batter into the oil. It should sizzle and float right up.
6
Once the oil is ready, transfer the batter into a ziploc bag with a tiny hole or into a squeeze bottle.
7
Squeeze the batter onto the oil into circular pretzel like shapes and fry the jalebi for about a minute or so on each side or until golden brown.
8
Transfer them onto a paper towel.
9
Then soak each jalebi in the warm honey syrup for a few seconds (on each side).
10
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sea salt.
