About
Jalebi is a popular sweet dish in the Indian subcontinent. It is made by deep-frying a wheat flour (maida) batter in circular shapes, which are then soaked in sugar syrup. The sweets are often bright orange or yellow in color and can be served warm or cold. They have a crunchy exterior, a chewy interior, and a sugary, syrupy taste that makes them a favorite during festivals and special occasions.
