JALEBIS!

Who wouldn't like this tasty sweet? 

It is a special dish in most of our festivals.

The yummy crispy jalebi is very simple to prepare.

 Here is a fun fact:According to Hobson-Jobson, the Indian word jalebi is derived from the Arabic word Zulabiya or the Persian zolbiya.This recipe was brought to Medieval India by Persian-speaking Turkic invaders.

A Sanskrit work dating before 1600 CE, lists the ingredients and recipe of the dish; these are identical to the ones used to prepare the modern jalebi.

So knowing this history, let's see how to prepare this.

Mix it to a slightly flowy consistency. (Not too thin or thick)

You can use a plastic cover, squeeze bottle or anything which is available to form a cone to dispense the mixture in the oil.

Fill the mixture.

In a pan:

• Heat oil and squeeze the mixture in spiral shape using the cone

For the sugar syrup.
