Step 1
Combine orange juice, sugar, and cardamom in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 4 minutes until syrup coats a spoon.
Step 2
Mix flour, yogurt, and baking powder in a bowl until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a thin star tip.
Step 3
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (use a thermometer). Test with a tiny drop of batter—it should sizzle and float immediately.
Step 4
Pipe 4-inch coils directly into hot oil, working in batches. Fry until deep golden on both sides, about 90 seconds total.
Step 5
Lift jalebi with a slotted spoon and immediately submerge in warm orange syrup for 30 seconds. Remove to a plate.
Step 6
Serve warm or at room temperature. The crispy exterior will soften slightly as it sits—eat within 30 minutes for maximum crunch.
