About Jalebi
Jalebi is a batter piped into hot oil in spirals, then dunked in sugar syrup — fried sugar, essentially. One medium jalebi is about 120 kcal and nearly all of it is sugar and oil.
Tip: Jalebi with doodh or dahi is a traditional combination for a reason: the protein slows the sugar hit. Keep it to one or two pieces.
