Iron Jalebi Kadai / Flat wok
Jalebi is a popular sweet from the Indian cuisine. It is sold in all mithai shops (sweet shops) and is also a popular street food sold by cart vendors in western and northern Indian cities and towns.
The fermented batter is then poured in concentric circles in hot oil and deep-fried. These fried spirals are then soaked in a flavored sugar syrup and served.
While the jalebi are quite similar to American funnel cakes prior to soaking, the fermentation gives the dough a bit of a tangy flavor.
These donut-like treats are crispier and crunchier than their American counterparts, which makes them perfectly suited for soaking in syrup. The syrup helps to balance out the tanginess of the dough, making jalebi an addictively delicious treat
