Jalebis!

The first day we were in Bombay, we took Eve, Shay and Arjun in an Autorickshaw to my favorite Jalebi place. These guys have been around forever and they make piping hot Jalebis to order.

What are Jalebis? This is a pretzel shaped dessert, made with flour, deep fried and then soaked in sugar syrup for less than a minute. They are crunchy and chewy all at the same time.

Tricia and I would walk to the Jalebi shop Sunday morning, but about half a pound, take it home along with some Samosas and Bhajjis and feast on it. Then we'd feel ill for the rest of the morning. We'd swear to control ourselves the next weekend. But the scene would repeat itself. Yes, it is just that good.

So, we bought about 2.5 lbs, just over a kilo! Pia, Vicky, my Dad, the kids and we polished all of it off.
