Chhena jalebi, also spelled chhena jilapi, is a sweet dish that comes originally from the eastern Indian state of Odisha. It is a dessert made from chhena, a fresh curd cheese, rather than from the fermented batter used for ordinary jalebi. It is popular in Odisha, West Bengal, Bangladesh and other eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent. The cook kneads fresh chhena thoroughly and rolls it into pretzel-like shapes, which are deep fried and then soaked in sugar syrup. It is prepared in a manner very similar to the jalebis known across India, and it is served either hot or chilled.
