The joy of biting into a crunchy jalebi with a juicy texture inside is truly incomparable. This desi dessert's melt-in-mouth texture has a special place in the hearts of many foodies. This sweet dish also occupies a popular spot for its quirky way of preparation. But it seems that with each passing day and advancement in technology, people are also coming up with an easier way to make jalebis. We say this, as a video doing the rounds on the Internet shares a glimpse of a makeshift way to prepare jalebis in Pakistan's Faisalabad. In the clip, an automatic whisker is connected to a pipe that carries the Jalebi batter in the utensil. The video begins with a man switching on that machine and bringing the whisker on top of the boiling hot oil. While the whisker is rotating, the pipe is pouring in the jalebi batter. But because of the whisker's circular motion, the batter is forming the round shape. Also Read: Ever Heard Of Black Noodles? This Unique Thai Dish Has Left Internet Confused

But a few even supported this new way of making jalebi and wrote, “All that criticism, the flavour comes from the ingredients, the mix, not some machine, it just speeds up the operation.”

Pointing out the noodle string-like texture, a user called it, “Chowmin Jalebi.”
