JALEBHI

As a child whenever some asks about my favourite colour my immediate reply would be baby pink and light yellow.I always had a fasination for these two colours,particularly the colour of hot jalebis served in the hotels as dessert.This recipe was amoung my collections but never had tried making it.I have not tried Indian sweets with confidence,so thought it apt for EC's WYF-COLOUR IN FOOD EVENT
