angari, also known as Imarti, is a traditional Indian sweet made from urad dal batter, deep-fried into intricate flower-like shapes, and soaked in sugar syrup. It is often confused with Jalebi, but the two are different—Jangari is made with urad dal, while Jalebi is made with maida (all-purpose flour).
Key Features:
Shape: Distinct flower-like pattern, unlike the chaotic swirls of Jalebi.
Ingredients: Made from urad dal, making it slightly healthier than Jalebi.
Preparation: The batter is not fermented, unlike Jalebi, which requires overnight fermentation.
Texture: Softer and less crunchy than Jalebi.
Jangari is a festival favorite, especially during Diwali, and is enjoyed across India
