What is jalebi?

Jalebi is a popular sweet snack in south and west Asia, Africa, and Mauritius. It goes by many names, including jilapi, jilebi, jilipi, zulbia, jerry, mushabak, z'labia, or zalabia. The South Asian variety is made by deep-frying refined flour batter in pretzel or circular shapes, which are then soaked in sugar syrup.

• First of all, we will take a bowl and put the refined flour, baking soda, water, and curd in it, then mix it all with a whisk.
• Then ferment it for the whole night.
• Now your batter is ready for cooking.
• Now transfer it into our bottle/pastry bag.
• Heat clarified butter in a pan on a low flame and make spirals for jalebi.
