What Is Jelabi?
Jelabi – Afghanistan’s Most Popular Sweet
Jelabi (also spelled Jalebi) is one of the most beloved Afghan desserts. It is made by frying fermented batter into spiral shapes and soaking it in fragrant sugar syrup.
Jelabi is:
- Crispy on the outside
- Soft and juicy inside
- Lightly sweet, not overwhelming
It is often enjoyed fresh and warm.
Why Jelabi Is Loved by Everyone
A Perfect Balance of Texture
The contrast between crisp edges and syrupy softness makes Jelabi irresistible.
Familiar Yet Unique
Many Americans compare Jelabi to donuts or funnel cake — but with a unique Afghan twist.
Traditional Afghan Homemade Sweets
In addition to Jelabi, Afghan kitchens prepare a variety of traditional homemade desserts, often made in small batches using family recipes.
These sweets focus on:
- Natural sweetness
- Simple ingredients
- Handmade preparation
They are meant to comfort, not overwhelm.

- Qabili Palau
- Mantu and Ashak
