Jalebis are a classic Indian dessert, spiral in shape, deep-fried, and dipped in sugar syrup. Chinese five spice mix is another classic that combines star anise, cloves, Chinese cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, and fennel seeds for a powerful, aromatic mixture. Together, the two form a fusion dessert that beautifully blends the two cuisines.
