Jalebi at the Edinburgh Mela

Great day at the Edinburgh Mela festival today. A multicultural festival featuring dance, music, fun for the kids and great food.

How to get your plain-food-eating son to try something new? Yup, colour it orange! We all tried jalebi today - very sweet but fun in small portions. It's a kind of batter which is deep fried then drained and served. Found a recipe here.

Great music and dance - particularly the premiere of "Star Crossed" from Dancebase - it got a well-deserved standing ovation from a packed tent!
