Bengaluru's 'Mountain Dew Jalebi' Is A Dessert You Won't Want To Miss & It's Not What You Are Thinking
The Mountain Dew Jalebi got its unusual moniker from the green color created by using hyacinth beans in the recipe.
Bengaluru, a bustling city famed for its dynamic food culture, has lately debuted a one-of-a-kind dessert that has wowed locals and visitors alike. This inventive concoction, which combines the traditional Indian sweet, jalebi, with an unexpected twist, has acquired fame for its unusual ingredient: it is not the well-known soft drink, Mountain Dew.
This unique Bengaluru dessert has gone viral on social media. This delicious dessert, known as Avarebele jalebi, is popular in Bengaluru.
Because of their brilliant fluorescent green colour, these jalebis have earned the moniker Mountain Dew jalebi. Surprisingly, the green colouring is not created through the use of a beverage or food colouring, but rather through the use of hyacinth beans. These versatile beans, known as Avarebele, are quite popular with Karnataka residents. They are so popular that there is a festival dedicated to them called Avarekai Mela.
Mountain Dew Jalebi: Surprise Yourself With This Unique Bengaluru Dessert
The photo was published by Amar Sirohi, a culinary blogger who described the dish in the text of his post as: "Jalebi Mountain Dew."
These jalebis are not green due to the inclusion of mountain dew or green food colouring. These are Avarebele jalebis, which are very famous in Bengaluru. These are manufactured from hyacinth beans, which are also known as Avarebele in Karnataka.
"The unique flavor of Avarebele is so popular that it has its own festival/fair - Avarekai Mela. If you're in Bangalore, they're definitely worth a try," he added.
According to the food blogger, this one-of-a-kind treat not only looks enticing but also tastes different from conventional jalebis.
