Jalebi

Jalebi

Jalebi is a delicious Indian deep  fried sweet dipped in sugar syrup. Its hot favorite on any occasion be it birthday,  wedding or festival. Though its eaten by themselves, they can be soaked in warm  milk or can be eaten with  rabri. I personally like it with  rabri! Adding rabri makes it a perfect dessert. So here comes the recipe of homemade jalebi with all real flavors and no added colour!!
