Instant Jalebi (sweet)

NUM NUM


CRUNCH!!


This is a very yummy and easy version of Jalebis out there.

The thing with Jalebis is that the batter takes a lot of time preparing, and i,m really not the patient type. So i found a recipe that is quick and has the same delicious outcome.

These Jalebis are best eaten hot, and they also go well cold with black tea.

Jalebi is a Pakistani/Indian sweet. They are very popular and are sold everywhere (mostly on the side of the roads).
