Gulab Jamun


Gulab Jamin is a popular Indian dessert.  It is traditionally served on the Indian holiday Diwali but is also eaten throughout the year.  You can enjoy this very sweet dessert at any Indian restaurant or buy them at an Indian grocery store.  

Gulab Jamun is made from a sweet dough (combination of flour and milk powder) which is divided into little balls and deep fried, then soaked in a combination of sugar syrup and rose water! Yes...it sounds that good and it is that yummy!

It is a gulity pleasure but you can feel less guilty by drinking some oolong tea (2 cups should do...at least!) and eating about 30g of fiber( frozen vegetables, fruit) throughout the day!  :-)
