Delicious looking jalebis but why qualify it with a sweet? I thought all jalebis were sweet are there any savory ones too?

I find it too difficult to prepare jalebis at home... till now none of the outcome was truly satisfying to me... I think, it needs regular practice to make the jalebis perfect like the jalebi-wala shops.

I just made this jalebi recipe today. I followed the recipe to the key and the jalebis looked pleasing to the eye because I added colour to the batter. The batter didn't ferment even though I let it rest for two hours as the the recipe called for. The battr was too thin which resulted in me adding quite a bit more flour to make the consistency that I needed. The end product looked good and was crunchy to the bite but the only thing I didn't like about it was the the saffron taste was too much. The next time I use this recipe I will omit the saffron altogether.

Whenever I try to make jalebi, the shape never comes perfect. I always try to make it circular, but it always breaks in between. Though there is no problem with the taste. Do you have any suggestion which can avoid the jalebi breakage?

Hi, that's a wonderful Jalebi recipe you have there. I also like this yellow colored jalebi, (don't know if it's typical to South India or so)a lil more juicy I believe. Do you mind sharing the recipe of yellow jalebi, if you know the preparation?
