Jalebi is a sweet commonly sold in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Jalebi is thought to have originated in the North of India, probably in the state of Punjab. The Persian word for Jalebi is "Zoolbiah". It is made from deep-fried, syrup-soaked batter and shaped into a large, chaotic pretzel shape, rather like the American funnel cake. Jalebis are mostly bright orange in colour but are also available in white. It can be served dripping warm or cold. It has a somewhat chewy texture with a crystallised sugary crunch. The sugars get partly fermented which is thought to add flavour to the dish. Jalebi is sold at Halwai shops and at traditional sub continental sweet shops. The southern Indian lookalike is jangiri. Another version of it, "Emarti" is red-orange in colour and sweeter in taste from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Jalebis in Orissa are also sometimes made of chhena.

Jalebi is one of the most popular sweets in India and is served as the National Sweet of India especially during the National holidays like Independence Day and Republic Day in the government offices and defence installations .
