Gulab Jamun

Today, I'm gonna talk about one of my favourite Deserts. It is very sweet, full of sugar but one of the favourites of many people. This treat called Gulab Jamun is a very popular desert in Sri Lankan, Indian and Bangladesh communities. You have this as a desert after a meal in the above communities as you may know they have some very spciy main meals - having a sweet like this will definately ease that pain!



It is made of a dough, consisting mainly of milk solids, traditionally, khoya, an Indian milk product (buffalo milk) is rolled into a ball together with some flour then deep fried. It is then put into a sugar syrup flavoured with cardamon seeds and rosewater, kewra or saffron.

Before you eat this, you can put any sauce on is. My personal preference is to leave it alone as it's already dripping in syrup.
