Gulab Jamun!


It's time we had a dessert for a Food of the Day! This post is also special because it is the last Food of the Day ever! (My blog is "due" today.)

Gulab jamun is a popular dessert in countries of the Indian sub-continent such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. It is made of a dough consisting mainly of milk solids. Traditionally, khoya, (buffalo milk) is rolled into a ball together with some flour and then deep fried. The balls are then put into a sugar syrup flavored with cardamom seeds and rosewater or saffron. Many restaurants carry gulab jamun and I strongly recommend you try them! My friends say they're very good. I will have to try them myself as soon as I get a chance!
