Does it have a crunch like a chip?

It has crunch but not like chip. Jalebi is made with a batter of all purpose flour, gram flour (besan), baking soda and water that is fermented for several hours. The fermented batter is then poured in concentric circles in hot oil and deep-fried. These fried spirals are then soaked in a flavored sugar syrup and served. It's sweet dessert but not super crunchy

Is funnel cake more accurate?

Its thinner and way less doughy than a funnel cake. It probably ends up being more sugar syrup than dough after its dipped.

Theyre really sugary, its like a crispy fried straw filled with sugar syrup.

Actually yeah.. it's more close. I'm not sure funnel cake is dipped into hot sugar syrup or not after deep fried.
