Similar sweets are imarti, which is red-orange tangerine in color and sweeter in taste, and angoor aana which is grape-green in color; unlike jalebi, these are made from the batter of urad lentil.

They are made in North Indian states including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh. A variant chhena jalebi, made with chhena, is popular in parts of Rajasthan, Bengal, and Orissa, though the form can differ significantly from place to place.
