There are few foods that bring as much joy to our faces as jalebi. Perhaps, that’s why the humble sweet has stood the test of time and is loved by all ages. It was so compelling that it was used as a prop in several successful advertising campaigns. Movie stars and celebrities alike can’t resist the allure of this juicy yet spiraling Indian snack. Actor Varun Dhawan even shared a video on his Instagram Stories, showing acclaimed director Nitesh Tiwari enjoying cannabis flowers during the filming of their next movie, titled Bawaal.
The video shows Tiwari among a crowd of people and Varun coming from behind. Varun then sees his director holding a paper bowl and eating from it. Surprised, he asked him, “Sir, you are eating jalebi in this heat and with so many people around.”
“Jalebi ke liye main kuch bhi kar sakta hun (I can do anything for jalebi),” said Tiwari. “Actually, I shot here for jalebi,” he adds with a smile.
Even the mention of the word “jalebi” fills our mouths with water and evokes a feeling of sweetness. It immediately took us back to the sweet shop in the neighborhood. In weddings and other parties, jalebi has gained quite a bit of traction. If you are missing the sweetest of all Indian sweets, then try making it at home. The recipe is very simple and takes no more than 15-20 minutes. But don’t set your expectations too high as fitting into hawaii in the vicinity will take some time.
Jalebis can be enjoyed as a dessert after your breakfast or dinner. Or you can also eat independently like Nitesh Tiwari did without worrying too much about the temperature.
Varun and Tiwari are filming their next movie Bawaal, which is supposed to be a timeless love story. Tiwari makes directorial debut with chillar party in 2011, he won the National Film Award. He is widely recognized for his hugely successful directing Dangal in 2016.
