Largest 'Jalebi' for Guiness Book of World Records

Jalebi (Hindi: जलेबी; Urdu: جلیبی ) is a fried sweet made from maida flour, commonly prepared in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Jalebi is thought to have originated in the northern India, most likely in the Punjab region. It is made by deep-frying batter in a pretzel shape, instead of the funnel cake shape common in the U.S., then soaked in syrup.

Now Meghalaya Tourism Development Forum in India is preparing to make the largest "jalebi" to feature in Guiness Book of World Records.

The attempt of frying the jelebi (75 inch diameter), large enough to cover a human being, will be made by a local confectionary - Delhi Mistan Bhandar - during the festival that starts on November 1.

MTDF Chairman R G Lyngdoh said the jelebi would weigh around 20 kg and would be fried in a pan of six feet three inches diameter.
