jalebi definition and meaning

What is "jalebi"?

Jalebi is a popular sweet snack in India and other parts of South Asia. It is made from a fermented batter of all-purpose flour and yoghurt, which is piped or drizzled into hot oil in spiral shapes and fried until golden brown and crispy. Jalebi is then soaked in a sugar syrup flavored with cardamom, saffron, and rosewater, which gives it its characteristic sweet and fragrant taste. Jalebi is often served warm and is a popular dessert during festivals and special occasions such as weddings.
