Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Kapra' means cloth. On Indian street corners, 'Jalebi-wala (Jalebi artisan)' rhythmically gripping this cloth over large oil cauldrons, sequentially birthing geometric Jalebis into oil is the peak of Indian street food art. Heavily used cloths become rock-hard with batter and oil.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Usage] Instantly plunge piping hot Jalebi—drawn in beautiful spirals and fried crispy in oil—into an adjacent pot of 'cold super-sweet syrup scented with saffron/cardamom', making it absorb syrup to the core!
