The rich culinary diversity of our country is on full display in Bihar’s Munger district, where a unique variety of jalebi is drawing attention. Known for its distinctiveness, this special jalebi combines potatoes and bananas, creating a unique flavour experience that is rarely found in sweet shops.
For those curious to try this unusual treat, it is available exclusively for a limited two-month period during the Sawan festival. The treat, sought after by devotees during the Kanwar Yatra heading to Jhakhand’s Deoghar, is prepared exclusively for this occasion. The jalebi can be found on Kachhi Kanwaria Path in Munger.
This jalebi is renowned for its exceptional taste, with many people eagerly awaiting a year to enjoy it. Available exclusively at a few select hotels, this jalebi is entirely vegetarian and fruit-based. Specifically crafted for the Kanwariyas journeying to Baba Dham, it offers a worry-free fruit diet option.
Unlike traditional jalebi made with flour or pulses, this version incorporates a mixture of mashed potato and banana. The concoction is mixed with milk, filtered, and then dipped in hot sugar syrup, creating a sweet and fruity delight. Once you try this distinctive potato-banana jalebi, you’ll likely become a devoted fan. This special treat is so eagerly anticipated that people wait a whole year for the opportunity to enjoy it.
According to a local shopkeeper, the process begins with grinding bananas and potatoes, mixing in milk, and then straining the mixture. The resulting blend is dipped in syrup and served to the Kanwariyas. This special jalebi is available only during the two months of Sawan and Bhado.
Kanwariyas have noted that this jalebi is an excellent choice for those on a fruit diet, as it can be enjoyed without concern. It provides energy, refreshes the mind, and is praised for its delicious taste.
