Description
Gulab jamun is a beloved South Asian dessert made of fried milk-based dough balls soaked in a syrup infused with rose, cinnamon, saffron, and cardamom. Originating in the Indian subcontinent, it's commonly found on menus at Indian restaurants around the world and made at home for holidays like Diwali. Gulab jamun is known for being quite finicky to make, but after plenty of testing, Hetal Vasavada landed on what she thinks is the easiest and most foolproof version. We do recommend using a scale for this recipe, as the ratio of liquid to dry ingredients is key to soft, fluffy gulab jamun.
