Jalebi has been mine and my mom's all time favorite sweet. In most parts of the India fried jalebi is dipped in sugar syrup. In very few places it is dipped in Jaggery syrup. Unlike sugar, jaggery is rich in minerals specially iron. Me along with my mom and sisters used to visit my Grandma's place during summer vacation. Grandma or my mom used to get this sweet from a roadside sweet shops, which are very popular for sweets and snacks specially Kaaja and Jaggery Jalebi.
