Gulab Jamun

40 minutes

Gulab Jamun is the embodiment of Indian sweetness, delicate, aromatic balls soaked in fragrant sugar syrup with hints of cardamom. This dessert, originating from India, is considered a symbol of celebration and hospitality. Its roots are said to trace back to ancient times when exquisite sweets were prepared for kings in palaces. The taste of Gulab Jamun features a wonderful combination of softness, creamy sweetness, and subtle Eastern spices. The perfect balance is achieved through a delicate dough made from dry milk and flour that acquires a golden crust after frying. Dipped in warm syrup, the balls become juicy and melt in the mouth. Gulab Jamun is traditionally served at weddings, festivals, and family celebrations and remains a favorite treat for all lovers of Indian sweets.
