    Paneer Jalebi / Chanar Jilepi

    December 15, 2017 By Anlet Prince 1 Comment

    Paneer jalebi is a melt in mouth deliciousness. A delicious variation from the regular gulab Jamun. It is a delicious dessert and has a melt in mouth texture. I happened to taste this dessert first when we were living in Pune. I still remember the feel when I first tasted this paneer jalebi. It simply melted in the mouth. Each bite would squeeze out its sweet juicy content. Heaven it was. It is made of fresh paneer. It is made by deep frying paneer mixture and then soaking it in sugar syrup.Paneer Jalebi

    • deep fry the jalebis in medium heat.
