Batter:
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in ¼ cup warm water, and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Mix the flour and oil together.
Add the yeast solution to the flour and mix. Make a smooth batter. Add water as needed. Consistency should be like pancake mix.
Set the batter aside and let it sit in a warm place for half hour.
Make sure the batter is fermented, but do not over ferment. After fermenting batter will be little lacy.
Syrup:
Boil the sugar and water together. Add the lemon juice, and cardamom boil for about 8 minutes until syrup is about ½ thread. Lemon juice keeps the mixture from crystallizing

Heat the oil in a frying pan about 1 inch deep.

The jalebi will take about 4 to 5 minutes to cook.
Turn them occasionally. Fry the jalebi until both sides are golden-brown.
Transfer them into the warm syrup.
Let jalebi soak in the hot syrup for a few seconds.Than take them out and Garnish with sliced pistachios.
