The love affair between Indians and sweets is no more a secret affair. You spell ‘indulgence’ and we Indians hear ‘mithai’ for sure. No brownie points for guessing the endless obsession with the vast array of sweetmeats.

One such delicious sweetmeat that everybody in this country loves is the OG jalebi. The coiled delicacy has tugged at our heartstrings for ages now and we cannot deny the fact.
The moment we see a halwai piping the jalebi mixture into the hot oil, our mouth doesn’t stop salivating till we get to relish the first bite of the sugar-soaked crispy delight.
