Jalebi - Indian Sweet ✨

Jalebi, a popular sweet, is believed to have been introduced to India from the Middle East. Made from a loose dough of flour and water, jalebi is fried in oil to create a unique spiral pattern, then soaked in sweet syrup. The result is a delightful combination of a crispy exterior and a syrup-soaked interior, offering a light yet super sweet experience reminiscent of karinto.

In India, jalebi is often enjoyed with warm milk, a combination believed to have health benefits, including relief from headaches and aiding in weight gain.

How to Enjoy:

• Jalebi can be dipped in rich, sweet rabri, similar to a sauce, and paired with hot saffron milk.
• Alongside can also be served with salty snacks like namkeen or the Gujarati snack fafda.
