With so many people of all kinds, there are hundreds of rituals, thousands of traditions, and lakhs of food experiences to enjoy. The most popular food items are sometimes known by different names in different states because of so many languages and a classic example is one street food known as phuchka, gol gappa, pani puri, pani ke batashe, and more in different states. Similarly, a Twitter user asked Tweeple about the name of another iconic Indian dish and the answers will tickle your bones.

Identifying this sweet won’t even take 2 seconds for most Indians and even foreigners who have a special place in their hearts for Indian desserts and sweets.

Responses To Naming This Indian Dish Are The Funniest!
Shared on 4 July, Twitterati has some interesting and creative answers to the question “What will you call it?” While many Twitter users responded that this is jalebi, some even shared some fun answers. From being a “magic in orange” to “kesariya balam” to even “the orange conundrum”, the comments on this tweet are so hilarious. If you ask me for such a unique response, I will name jalebi as “the secret to my happiness”. Well, what will you call jalebi? Remember, the response needs to be interesting!

— @RANJIT SARKAR (@RANJITS43955330) July 4, 2023
Being a Bengali and living in West Bengal, I call this Indian sweet dish “Jilipi”. What do you call this yummy sweet? Also, is there any other name for jalebi in your native language?
