23 Incredibly Delicious Indian Desserts
Jalebi – A Spiral Lip-Smacking Dessert
What is it: A circular or spiral-shaped dessert prepared from an all-purpose flour batter, fried and finally dipped in syrup for a sugary effect. Popular in India as well as other Asian and African countries, it has a host of other names like jilapi (Bengali), jilabi (Marathi), Z’labia (Tunisia) and Jeri (Nepal).
What does it taste like: Eaten hot or cold, it has a chewy texture, with the taste varying by the accompaniments you use with it. Jalebi dipped in curd would produce a sweet and sour fusion, while a spread of rose water or saffron syrup (kesar) would intensify its sweetness.
