Speaking to us about the preparation steps of this saccharine delight, Mr. Ankit Gupta, the owner of Rahul Sweets, says, "Paneer Jalebi is fried in desi ghee on a low flame. Cooking it on high flame turns the jalebi black in colour and it also becomes soggy." He further adds that, unlike the traditional jalebi which is for immediate consumption, this sweetmeat can be consumed within 48-72 hours of its preparation as it doesn't lose its taste and crispness easily.

Knock Knock

Now, whenever your tummy rumbles for sweet dishes, you have to try this legendary Paneer Jalebi from this sweet shop in Kanpur. Available in fresh batches during the evening hours, add this to your eat-inerary because Kanpur has a lot more to offer to your tastebuds than just a lively local dialect!
