When it comes to desi desserts, Indian cuisine has definitely spoiled us with a plethora of options. From gulab jamun to halwa, we have an array of sweet dishes to choose from. Among all, jalebi has occupied a permanent place in our hearts. But have you ever heard of a dish called "black jalebi"? Well, such a dish exists, and we even have a video of it. In the clip, a vendor can be seen making the jalebis in a distinctive black hue. Though the process of making jalebi is similar, this variety differs in its thickness and colour. The video shows a vendor making multiple chains of spirals in a utensil filled with hot oil. Soon enough, the jalebis can be seen turning black in colour, at which point the vendor flips them over.

Soon after the video went viral, innumerable users flooded the comments section with their views. While many claimed that the vendor had burnt the jalebis, a few were able to identify the reason behind its black colour. When a user said, "Bhai jala di hai tune jalebi. [Brother, you have burnt the jalebi]," another revealed, "Milk solids turn black when fried, like gulab jamun. It's paneer jalebi." "Isse black nahi, over fried bolte hai. [This is not black. It is over fried]," a person said. A comment read, "It's mawa jalebi. Not the usual maida jalebi." Another added, "It's mawa Jalebi, which is such an old concept." "Oh, haha, people are saying it's mawa/khoya jalebi. That makes sense; I just thought it was burned," confessed a person.
