What’s in a Mushroom Millet Jalebi?
Unlike your regular maida-based jalebi, this version is made using foxtail or finger millet flour (ragi or bajra). The batter is lightly fermented, and finely chopped button mushrooms are mixed in before deep frying. Once crisp, these jalebis are dunked in a traditional sugar syrup infused with cardamom and a hint of ginger.
No maida. No artificial colors. Just mushrooms, millets, and a big idea.
Priced: Rs 600 per kg
They also made over 100 mushroom-based products, including pakoras and biscuits.
