jalebee
This indian treat is a fermented wheat flour dough formed into round shapes, deep fried in ghee (clarified butter) then soaked in a sugary syrup. The syrup gives it the bright color. Jalebees are found at most indian sweet shops.

It sounds delicious but looks too pretty to eat! :)
In Birmingham in England, where I was born, they sell jalebee in all the sweet centers. I often used to buy a big bag full. I didn't know what it was made from though, so thank you for explaining it.
I had it once when ppl were celebrating Indian new year in Vancouver, very very sweet stuff ;-)
I am finding on the DP blogs interesting snacks from around the world. Very cool.
