In Norman Chevers book, A Manual of Medical Jurisprudence for India (1870, page 178) mentions "jelabees" as a historical way of poisoning prisoners in India in the 1800s. Jalebi made from khoya or mawa, was invented by Harprasad Badkul, in the year 1889, in Jabalpur. It is a popular snack in Kerala and a popular breakfast snack in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, equally popular as dessert at celebrations in other parts of the North India. It is often served with sweetened condensed milk dish, rabri or eaten with kachori and vegetable curry in the northern part of the country. In India, it is known as Jalebi in Hindi. See also: Shahi jilapi, Imarti, and Chhena jalebi India The history of the invention and subsequent spread of this food thus remains open to interpretation and unresolved. It has been suggested that the American funnel cake is derived from the Arab and Persian cuisine, brought by German emigrants and called Drechterkuche. Others claim that it was created by a musician during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid, Abdourrahman Ibnou Nafaâ Ziriab, who made a prolonged stop over in Tunisia while traveling from Baghdad to Andalusia. According to the Indian ambassador Nagma Malik, jalebi might have started life in Turkey and then arrived in Tunisia long ago before making its way to India. Gunyagunabodhini, another Sanskrit work dating before 1600 CE, lists the ingredients and recipe of the dish these are identical to the ones used to prepare the modern jalebi. Priyamkarnrpakatha, a work by the Jain author Jinasura, composed around 1450 CE, mentions jalebi in the context of a dinner held by a rich merchant. However, it is also believed that the clan leader of the indigenous population of Jhelum, Tanvir bin Uddin, inspired the name of this delicacy and found it optimal for energy levels. Īccording to the Hobson-Jobson (1903) historical dictionary, the word jalebi is derived from the Arabic word zulabiya, or the Persian zolbiya. In the 13th century Persia, a cookbook by Muhammad bin Hasan al-Baghdadi mentioned a similar dish. The earliest known history of this food in Western Asia comes from the 10th century in the Arabic cookbook Kitab al-Tabikh (English: The Book of Dishes) by Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq. The origin of jalebi is unknown, however there is documented early history of a Middle Eastern variety known as zalabiyeh.

Citric acid, lime juice and rose water is sometimes added to the syrup. They have a somewhat chewy texture with a crystallized sugary exterior coating. The North African dish of Zalabia uses a different batter and a syrup of honey ( Arabic: ʻasal) and rose water. In some west Asian cuisines, jalebi may consist of a yeast dough fried and then dipped in a syrup of honey and rose water.

Jalebi is eaten with curd or rabri (in North India) along with optional other flavors such as kewra (scented water). The south Asian variety is made by deep-frying maida flour ( plain flour or all-purpose flour) batter in pretzel or circular shapes, which are then soaked in sugar syrup. It goes by many names, including jilapi, jilebi, jilipi, zulbia, jerry, mushabak, z’labia, or zalabia. Jalebi ( Hindi: जलेबी, Bengali: জিলাপি, Odia: ଜିଲାପି, Urdu: جلیبی, Nepali: जेरी Sinhala: පැණි වළලු), is a popular sweet snack in south and west Asia, Africa, and Mauritius.
