Recipe
Few have visited India, but everyone could experience the spirit of Indian cuisine when eating Spanish churros with chocolate. But don’t be surprised. The thing is these popular sweets, like several others, derived from the iconic Indian dessert, jalebi.
Jalebi is popular in the Middle East. People cook it in South Africa and adore it in India. No wonder! After all, who would have thought that ordinary fried yogurt-based dough can be so tasty? The cooking process resembles chak-chak and partially baklava. Today we are going to share with you a delicious jalebi recipe.

Fry the jalebi on both sides in a skillet with oil. They shouldn't touch the bottom but float on the surface (about 30 seconds from each side until golden brown). |

5
Done
|
Place the jalebi in sugar syrup for only 15 seconds, then remove and place, for example, on an oiled baking sheet so that they harden. The dessert is ready! |
It is important not to boil the syrup for too long. Don't try replacing the syrup with honey! It can't harden the right way. In general, the recipe is straightforward and family-friendly. In Iran, to increase the flavor of the delicious dish, they add saffron, cinnamon, and other spices to jalebi. Serve this Indian snack with milk or hot tea. We hope you enjoy our video recipe!
