Jalebi

Jalebi, an Indian fried dough, looks and tastes quite a lot like funnel cake that is sticky and sweet. Crunchy sweet spirals are dipped in sugar syrup, adding sweetness and moistness to the crunch! Jalebi is traditionally prepared by soaking the batter overnight; today I am sharing the instant version.
