What's jelabi ?

[Abdul-Raheem]

:salam2:

I recently moved into a mostly asian area in London called Southall, also known as 'Little India' lol. I've seen this round orangey coloured thing they make and sell around every corner, think it's called Jelabi or something. Anyone tried it before, wondering what it tastes like. Right now, I don't know anyone round here and feel a shy in asking.

Wa alaykum assalam.

AHHHH!! YOU SHOULD TASTE IT, IT'S SOOOO AWESOME!

excuse the enthusiasm, but it's really good. it's hard to make, my mother and i sometimes make them, but they don't look as good

They are made from a batter piped onto the hot oil (like funnel cakes), so that an experienced cook will continue onto the next swirl without breaking the stream of batter. Once a batch has been made, the 'individual' jalebis can be simply broken off from each other (this would be after they are dipped into the sugar syrup)

THey are like fried on oil then dipped in melted sugar, so they absorb the sugar really welll and are really sweet! they luv my sweet tooth so much much much...

wassalam.

If the "round orangey coloured thing" you are talking about, that I know.
Jelabi? Well, here it's called Ladoo. Although I love sweets, but I find the ladoo extremely sweet for me. But its worth a try.

Wasalam.

Straight like a Jaleebi!

Asslamo Allaikum,

You made me laugh, yes they say that in Urdu for women!

تو ایک دم جلیبی کی طرح سیدھی ھے۔

You (female) are a straight (forward) person like a Jaleebi.

Everyone look at the Jaleebi; see how STRAIGHT it is!

I can similarities between a woman and a Jaleebi!

Salaam,

What makes it so good is it soooo sweet; and sticky, and light to taste.
Now I have to drive 350 miles to get a taste...and I always do.

Guess what people? I still haven't tried Jelabi yet, even though I see them at least 15 times a day! Anyway, Jelabi has been the last thing on my mind at recently but inshallah I'll give it a try sometime soon. I think its something like £5.00 per kilo.....

wasalam

I used to eat it when I was a little kid but never knew the name of it until now. I always thought it looked like a soggy Cheeto. I haven't had it in a long time but I'd probably find it too sweet now.
