But, in West Bengal, you won’t find this jalebi instead, there are jalebis made up of mung bean, and yellow dal lentil. Unlike normal jalebis, mung beans and yellow dal jalebis are made very thick and are very soft. These jalebis are very popular in funfairs or marriage ceremonies.

In West Bengal marriages, jalebis and rasgullas are served. Rasgulla which is the primary sweet West Bengal is famous for. This homemade jalebi is very easy and can be made even by a beginner who has just started cooking and baking. Make sure that you eat these jalebis within 3 to 4 days so make them in small batches.
