It’s eaten all parts of India not just some parts. It’s a dessert famous in Not just india but also India subcontinents including other coutures, also probably in Africa (I’m not sure google is right or not) Yes it’s origin not india & I’ve never seen or taste Persian version but This specific photo is Indian Jalebi

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

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

Jalebi is Indian Desset
