Chhena jalebi or Chhena jilapi is a sweet dish originally from the eastern state of Odisha in the Indian subcontinent a dessert made from chhena. It's popular in Odisha, West Bengal, Bangladesh and other eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent.

Preparation

Chhena jilapi are made in a manner very similar to regular jalebis which are popular throughout India. However, the basic ingredient is fresh curd cheese called chhenna.[1] Fresh chhena is thoroughly kneaded and rolled up into shapes similar to pretzels, before being deep fried. The fully fried chhena pretzels are then soaked in a sugary syrup. Chhena jilapis are served either hot or chilled.
