Spiral-shaped fermented batter deep-fried in ghee then soaked in warm saffron syrup, Jalebi is consumed at an estimated 500+ million kg per year across India. Likely introduced by Persian traders around 1450 CE, it appears in the Priyamkarnrpakatha text. Served hot at breakfast with rabri or cool as a street snack.
