Gulab Jamun
A quintessential Indian dessert, Gulab Jamun is a luscious, melt-in-the-mouth sweet treat beloved across South Asia. These soft, round dumplings are traditionally made from khoya (reduced milk solids) or milk powder dough, flavored with a hint of cardamom, then deep-fried until golden brown and perfectly crisp on the outside.
After frying, the dumplings are soaked in warm, fragrant sugar syrup infused with rose water, saffron, and sometimes a touch of kewra or cardamom essence. This syrup soaks deep into the gulab jamuns, making them incredibly juicy, tender, and sweet with a subtle floral aroma.
Served warm or at room temperature, Gulab Jamun is often garnished with chopped pistachios or almonds for a delightful crunch. It’s a festive dessert, perfect for celebrations, festivals, and special occasions — a timeless favorite that satisfies any sweet tooth.
