Jangri (South Indian name) or Imarti (North Indian name) is a popular sweet dish made during festivities in India. It tastes heavenly with Rabri. It might look like jalebi but the recipe is completely different.
In south India no festival is complete without this sweet! You will find it in every sweets shop & all households during weddings, Dussehra or Diwali. No one can stop with just one of this sugary goodness! Here I share my simple recipe with you’ll. If you do try it share your cooksnaps with me!
Happy Cooking! ❤️
