Gulab Jamun is a traditional Indian sweet made of milk solids (khoya). These deep-fried dumplings made of khoya are dipped in a cardamom flavoured sugar syrup. The small dumplings soak up the flavoured sugar syrup and melts in the mouth when eaten.
Gulab Jamun is one of the most popular Indian sweet and you will find them at every wedding, party, and festivals. They can be eaten hot or cold. Gulab Jamun is my husband’s second favourite Indian mithai (sweet) after Jalebi. The melt in the mouth texture and aromatic flavours of the cardamom quickly makes it everyone’s favourite.
I know people often assume it to be a difficult sweet to prepare at home. However, I feel it quite a simple sweet to make if you follow the recipe properly.
Gulab jamun is a traditional Indian sweet dish which is prepared during festivals along with Chawal ki Kheer, Gajar Halwa, Meethe Chawal, Rajasthani Kheeranand, Rajasthani Churma, Santre ki Kheer and/or Sandesh to name a few.
