Vegan Jalebi
warning: highly addictive
What could be better than crispy, juicy and devilishly sweet jalebi? They're the most popular mithai on the Indian subcontinent, sold as street food, in sweet shops and readily available at festivals and weddings.
We're going to be spending more time in the kitchen over lockdown which means there's no better time than now to have a go at making home made jalebi for Diwali. It's quick & easy and the results are magnificent. Plus, this recipe has no ghee or milk - so it's the perfect Indian vegan dessert!
