What was the role of Jalebis in this movie?

it initially reminded him back memories after 25 years to motivate him to start searching?

As a kid he always wanted jalebis but they could not afford it. His brother promised to buy lots of them.

Years later when he saw the jalebis as the dinner party, the memories of his childhood came flooding back.

That was a good plot device.

What are they, exactly? They looked like red fried dough to me.
