About
Gulab Jamun is a classic, traditional Indian sweet dish cherished by everyone. It is made from khoya (dried whole milk or milk thickened by heating in an open iron pan), paneer (Indian cottage cheese), and chenna (freshly made cottage cheese). The small balls of the dairy products are then deep-fried till golden, soaked in sugar syrup and flavored with cardamom and rose water, giving the dessert its signature flavor and name. It is enjoyed during festivals, special occasions, or even as a part of dessert after meals.
