jalebi Recipe

In my childhood, I was going to my village to most of the festival. Dolapurnima was one of them. This is a big festival of Odisha. In this festival statue of god comes to each house in a Dola which is carried by four people. I saw in my house my grandma offered prasad to god ahead of Dola. That prasad was contained different types of fruits, sweets, khai, etc. Among all these prasad one was my favorite prasad that was Tabaka. The taste of Tabaka is almost like jalebi but different in shape from that days I love to eat jalebi.
