Re: Origin of food names
wiki links name of jalebi with Jal (pani)
Origins of Jalebi can be traced back to ancient India, where it was called Kundalika or Jal-vallika (being full of syrup, which is watery; hence the name). In later dialects of Sanskrit, Jal-vallika became Jalebi which likely arrived in the middle east during the period of Muslim rule, through cultural diffusion and trade from the Indian subcontinent, and its local name Jalebi became Zalebi as Z is more common in middle-eastern languages.
The earliest written references to the sweet are found in a 13th-century cookbook by Muhammad bin Hasan al-Baghdadi. In Iran, where it is known as Zulbia, the sweet was traditionally given to the poor during Ramadan. In the early 1900s, Jalebi was used to hold ice cream. This idea was made by Ernest A Hamwi. Jalebi was also a treat for an American family, until the invention of cones.[SUP][2]](Jalebi - Wikipedia)[/SUP]
One of the earliest known Indian references for the sweet exists in a Jain work — Priyamkarnrpakatha — by Jinasura, apparently composed in AD 1450. This work was subsequently cited in cookery books published in later centuries including the 17th-century classic Bhojan-kutuhala by Raghunatha.
I think jungle jalebi got its name from jalebi, and not the other way around.
Muqawwee, it’s very commonly available in Karachi too. You will find it on carts outside schools where vendors sell bair, amrood, fslsay and that kind of stuff.

I think I've seen that in Empress Market. Thought that its imli as shape has a resemblance.
Yes it looks like imli, only greenish red and circular.
