Jalebis are much-loved sweets in India and are made with a fermented batter and are crispy outside, a little chewy inside and ever-so-slightly sour. The jalebis are then dipped in a saffron and cardamom flavored syrup and eaten while still hot.
This scrumptious pyramid-shaped pastry is a favorite snack in India and abroad. The savory potato, pea and peanut filling pairs well with the tangy, sweet tamarind and date chutney.
