Jalebi, who has climbed the tongue of Indians, has come from a Muslim country.
Indian samosa and Jalebi are crazy. The craze is such that Jalebi has been declared even the national sweets of India. Now both of them are discussed in the whole country. The reason for the discussion is the order of the Ministry of Health. The ministry has ordered all central institutions to put up such boards and posters which should tell how much fat and sugar in everyday breakfast like Samosa-Jalebi. This warning is exactly the same as tobacco is issued and a warning is written.
Keeping this in mind, a board must have been installed near such breakfast in Nagpur and it will be written that eat wisely, your future will thank you. The aim of warning is to alert people about the journey of sugar and oil in the food. After this order, the favorite samosa-jalebi of Indians has come in the discussion. On this excuse, let us know where this jalebi and samosa came from.
How did Jalebi reach India from Muslim country?
The history of Jalebi eating in India is hundreds of years old, but in history it gets a connection with a Muslim country. Jalebi was truly originated in Pashia, which is now known as Iran. Here the trend of making it from yeast started. It is from here that it reached Europe and other countries of the world.
In Iran it became known as Julbia. Today, even though it is eaten as breakfast, Iran has a tradition of eating especially in the month of Ramadan. In many countries of the middle East, honey and rose are used in it so that its fragrance and taste can be increased.
In India, it is known by many names. In North India, it is called Jalebi and Jelebi in the south. At the same time, North East is called Jillapi. In the book of ancient Persian kitchen al-Tabikh, writer Muhammad bin Hassan al-Bagdadi writes, Persia’s Julbia is mentioned in the documents of the beginning of the 10th century. He writes, Jalebi has been a special dish of Ramadan celebration. It was distributed among the people during Ramadan.

Historians believe that Jalebi reached India through Persian artisans, traders and middle East invaders. However, there was a change in the way of making it in India. By the 15th century, it became a part of wedding festivals and other programs in India. Gradually, it made such an inroads among Indians that it climbed on the tongue of the people. In India, it was declared as a national dessert.
The favorite samosa of Indians is the gift of which country?
Like Jalebi, the history of samosas is also related to Iran. Historians believe that the first mention of Samosas was done by Persian historian Abul Fazal Beki. He told about samosas in his documents in the 11th century. Then it was called Sambushk, not samosa.
However, the taste of samosas which is in India today, it did not happen in Iran. Mawa and dry fruit were filled instead of potato in samosas. There is no clear information about when its size was Tikona, but how this historians came to India has recorded many things about it in their books.

How did Samosa reach India?
Samosa reached India via Uzbekistan and Afghanistan. Contrary to Iran, meats and onions were filled in the samosas in Afghanistan instead of mewe and mawa. It used to be used by people who used to go to the forests to graze animals. People coming to India from here took it to Hindustan. There were many experiments in it here. In India too, the trend of drowning in sugar syrup continued to be filled with mawa in samosas, but spicy potatoes were also prepared.
The experiments related to samosas in India did not stop here. Several samosas came in trend with samosas with samosas, noodles, noodles samosa, fish samosa, cheese samosa, mushroom samosa, cauliflower samosa, chocolate samosa, chicken with cheese.
