Jalebi · Delhi

Spirals of fermented batter fried crisp in ghee and soaked in sugar syrup, eaten hot in Chandni Chowk, sometimes with rabri or a glass of milk.

Jalebi is fried and sold across South Asia, from breakfast stalls in Delhi to Nepal, where it is called jerry, a name linked to the Mughal emperor Jahangir. The batter is fermented before frying, which gives the crisp spirals a faint sourness against the sugar syrup. In Chandni Chowk it is fried to order at dedicated counters and handed over hot, straight from the syrup.
