      This delicious Chicken Finger Sandwiches recipe is always a favorite sandwich. So easy to make and so delicious. With ketchup and [highlight]herbs seasoning[/highlight] for color and tang, this dressed-up chicken salad is wonderful on bread fingers or served on a lettuce leaf. 

      Finger sandwiches are the easiest and most requested party food. It’s a lovely way to serve sandwiches and a great way to use up leftover chicken, or great to take as lunch as a normal sandwich. Perfect for afternoon tea.

      The weekend was full of foodie experiences. A few days ago, I decided to do a tea party with a my childhood friend and her child’s and made these as one of the finger foods. They were a HUGE hit with her little girls. They are just so dainty and are perfect for little tea parties (or family gathering, birthdays, .. etc..) plus, they are SUPER easy to make.

      The secret of this recipe is fresh herbs. You can make a variety of sandwiches as well, using egg salad, chicken salad, or tuna as layers– just make sure you chop or process the ingredients up enough so it spreads easily.

      Note: These can be served immediately but in my opinion they taste best when refrigerated at least 2 hours– they will easily keep if made a day ahead of time.

      Author Bushra Waheed

      Ingredients

      For Jalebi:

      • 1 cup Plain Flour
      • 2 teaspoon cornflour
      • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
      • 1 teaspoon oil
      • 1/8 teaspoon cardamom Powder
      • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
      • a pinch of orange food color
      • 3/4 cup Warm Water

      For Sugar Syrup:

      • 1-1/4 cups Sugar
      • 1 cup Water
      • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
      • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
      • few strand of saffron

      Instructions

      • In a bowl, mix together the plain flour, cardamom powder, instant yeast and cornflour.
      • Add yogurt, oil, and Water to the dry ingredients.
      • Mix well until there are no lumps.
      • When done, cover the jalebi batter.
      • Place it in a warm place for 24 hours or overnight, till it is fermented (the batter will rise on fermentation).
      • Once the batter is fermented stir the batter in a cut and fold motion to combine it once again.

      To Make Sugar Syrup:

      • Take a saucepan, add Water, sugar and saffron. Cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.
      • Reduce flame to a low simmer and add Cardamom Powder and Lemon Juice.
      • Stir well.
      • When the sugar becomes thick and stringy of one string consistency.Turn off the heat and keep aside.

      To Make The Jalebi:

      • Preheat oil for frying the jalebi’s.
      • Mix the fermented jalebi batter well and put it in a ketchup or mustard bottle with a spout (zipper bag or piping bag can be used).
      • Squeeze out the batter into the hot oil in approximately 8 small circular motions.
      • Jalebi should about 2-3 inches in diameter.
      • Fry until the bottom side looks golden and flip once to cook the other side.
      • With tongs, remove jalebi, shake off excess oil and place directly into sugar syrup.
      • Allow jalebi to remain in the syrup for just a minute (flipping to coat both sides), shake off excess sugar syrup and place onto a plate. Jalebi is ready to serve. ENJOY!!

      Notes

      • The consistency of the batter should be thick and not watery, similar to the butter cream batter. You should be able to make a shape when piped in a piping bag.
      • Don’t over stir you want the air pockets in the batter to remain. This will help in the jalebi being crisp and also in turn help it absorb the sugar syrup.
      • The oil for frying should be medium hot. If it is too hot, the jalebis will end up burnt.
      • Also make sure you keep the heat on low when you pipe the jalebis into the oil, this will ensure you can see the circles you are piping and also the jalebis will rise up slowly.
      • You can store in an air-tight container. They will remain fresh for 4-5 days un refrigerated.
      • Serve as a dessert after any meal or as a tea time snack.
