When I was kid all the muslim kids would bring those to school after celebrating Eid al-Fitr to share with us. Always the best time of school year

It has crunch but not like chip. Jalebi is made with a batter of all purpose flour, gram flour (besan), baking soda and water that is fermented for several hours. The fermented batter is then poured in concentric circles in hot oil and deep-fried. These fried spirals are then soaked in a flavored sugar syrup and served. It's sweet dessert but not super crunchy

It’s eaten all parts of India not just some parts. It’s a dessert famous in Not just india but also India subcontinents including other coutures, also probably in Africa (I’m not sure google is right or not) Yes it’s origin not india & I’ve never seen or taste Persian version but This specific photo is Indian Jalebi

If you ever get a chance try mawa/khoya jalebi. I’ve only seen it when I visited India (near jama masjid Delhi). Tastes insanely sinful!

I’m one of the rare ones who’s hate jalebi and gulab jamon. Kesar pista is amazing tho.

It’s a fatter braided fried pastry. Jalebi is made from a liquid mix squirted in hot oil while a koeksister has a more normal bread dough and fried like a donut from what I remember. When fried and soaked in syrup it can have a crispy outer texture and soaked with syrup throughout (the good ones I have eaten had this). It’s different in texture but similar qualities in flavour, it’s that or the memory of the sugar rush is clouding my judgement.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this was an offshoot inspired by Jalebi given South Africa’s multicultural heritage.

Oh I've tried them before. Like the oil fried pastry taste, but it's waaaaaay too sweet for me to eat more than a bite.

We call it "Zoolbia", and we eat it usually in Damardan with "Bamieh". I can't say which one I love more😋

For people who found it sweet, try jalebi with curd/yogurt the next time
