Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee and roast the cashews and raisins for 2 minutes. Take the cashews and raisins out. Add the remaining ghee, and roast the semolina for 5 minutes. Let it cool. In a pot, boil the water. Add the semolina in rainy movement, until it is dissolved and cooked . Add the sugar and cardamom, and cook it for 3 minutes. Once the semolina is cooked, add the saffron water. Stir it, and add the cashew and raisins. Mix it well, and place it on ramekins. Let it cool and ENJOY!

Jalebi

2 tablespoons of yogurt
70-75 ml of water

Food color (yellow and orange)

Mix all the ingredients and set aside for 15-20 minutes.

Syrup
2 cups of sugar 
1 1/2 cup of water
4 cardamoms
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Bring all the ingredients to boil until the sugar is dissolved.

Place the jalebi batter in a plastic bag. Fry them in hot oil (if the oil is not hot, then the jalebis will not puff). Once they are fried, put them immediately in the syrup. ENJOY!
