Jalebi is a popular South Asian sweet dish made by deep-frying a fermented batter of maida flour in spiral shapes, which are then soaked in warm sugar syrup. Known for its crispy texture outside and juicy, sticky interior, this bright orange or yellow dessert is often served warm during festivals, breakfast, or as a street food staple.
