The quickest way to make this jalebi is mostly used if anyone craves sweets or there some new guests arrive unknowingly.

This fermentation gives your jalebi ki recipe a unique taste which is the important part of this Indian sweet recipe. Apart from gulab jamun, jalebi is also one of the most popular sweet dishes in all over India. In almost every shop, and occasions, you will find jalebi with rabdi or gulab jamuns.

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.
