Jalebi is a sweet commonly sold as a street food in India and Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is made from deep-fried, syrup-soaked batter and shaped into large, chaotic pretzel shapes. Jalebis are mostly bright orange in colour but are also available in white. It can be served warm and dripping or cold, in which case it has a somewhat chewy texture with a crystalised sugar crunch. Jalebi is sold at the Halwai shops and at traditional sub continental sweet makers. The southern Indian lookalike is jangiri.
