For the uninitiated, jalebi is a sweet prepared from a dough which is dropped into hot oil giving it a crunchy outside and sweet inside texture which gives an amazing taste. Jalebis are served hot or cold, based on individual preferences. In some places in North India, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kailashsweets.com\/blog\/why-do-people-eat-jalebi-on-dussehra\/\">Jalebis<\/a> are had with Rabri (a condensed milk based sweet) or with samosas and kachoris. In Gujarat, many people like having Jalebis with Fafda, a fried savoury dish made from gram flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across South Asia, you will find Jalebis being made at various road side stalls. It is a great sweet that is relished by everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kailashsweets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Best-Indian-Jalebi-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kailashsweets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Best-Indian-Jalebi-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kailashsweets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Best-Indian-Jalebi-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kailashsweets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Best-Indian-Jalebi-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kailashsweets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Best-Indian-Jalebi.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Jalebi is Famous During Dusshera<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is tradition to have Jalebi during\nDusshera.
