Viral Video: Foodie alert! There is a new type of jalebi that recently caught netizens’ attention, and now, ‘Jalebi Gulab Jamun’ is all that everyone can think about. A video of a street side vendor making some jalebi went viral on social media, as foodies couldn't exactly recognise the signature colour that jalebi usually carry. This unique jalebi in question was black in colour, which made the internet interested in it. However, it turned out that it's actually a pretty mouth-watering and popular dish, commonly known as ‘Mawa Jalebi’.
The video went viral due to the snack’s unusual colour, which left the unaware internet speculating of all kinds of reasons behind the ‘mysterious’ shade.
The video was shared on the social media platform Instagram, by the handle ‘Sukrit Jain’. The post read, “Black Jalebi.” The video was shared 7 days ago and pulled more than 1K likes from people.

Not the usual maida jalebi,” added a third person. “Milk solids turn black when fried like gulab jamun. It’s paneer jalebi,” added a fourth user.
“Oh haha, people are saying it’s maws/khoya jalebi. That makes sense, I just thought it was burned,” added a fifth user. “It's called khowa jalebi as you know,” wrote a sixth user. “It's made from gulab jamun type batter,” wrote another. “No matter what colour. I just know they will taste so good. Also, just like gulab jamun, they are also tasty,” added another.
