Farrukhabad Jalebi: In Farrukhabad, people start their morning with tea, but breakfast is considered incomplete without curd-jalebi, which is why people go out to eat hot jalebi as soon as the morning comes. Raspberry jalebis dipped in red-orange colored syrup are a favorite of people of all ages and Indians are so fond of jalebi that many people even unofficially call it the national sweet. Jahanganj area of Farrukhabad has been famous for its special Jalebi for hundreds of years, where excellent taste is available at low prices. Although Farrukhabad is known in the country and the world for its famous snacks and diverse dishes, but the unique taste found in every street and locality here makes it special. Shopkeeper Arvind Kumar, who has been making Jalebi for the last 18 years at a traditional shop in Jahanganj, says that his Jalebi is very much liked due to its purity and taste. Here, round jalebis are made from the batter prepared from flour and urad dal, deep fried and then dipped in special syrup, which is served with the fragrance of rose water and curd made from milk. This traditional method and low price makes Farrukhabad’s Jalebi special, which people consider a symbol of happiness and sweetness.
