Description

Gulab jamun is a milk-solid-based sweet from the Indian subcontinent. Its a very popular sweet in India, Nepal, Pakistan, the Maldives and Bangladesh.

The milk and cheese solids are prepared by heating milk over a low flame for a long time until the water content has evaporated and only the milk solids remain. These milk solids, known as khoya, are kneaded into a dough, with a small amount of flour (maida). Then the dough is shaped into small balls and deep-fried in oil or ghee at a low temperature of about 148°C until they get their familiar golden brown color. If the balls are cooked quickly, they will be raw on the inside. The fried balls are then soaked in a light sugar syrup flavored with green cardamom and rose water, kewra or saffron. Hot Gulab Jamun is also served with plain vanilla ice-cream.
