Name- Gulab jamun
Where to get it- Indian restaurants
When you’re in the mood for something sweet to satisfy your taste buds but chocolate or ice cream just wont cut it, where do you go? What do you eat?
Gulab Jamun is an Indian dessert, which is best served hot and in my opinion with a nice scoop of ice-cream to compliment the heat- especially on those warm summer nights.
On a theoretical level, they are Spongy milky balls soaked in a rose scented syrup but on a foodie level, they are warm-sponge like golden balls drizzled with sticky, sweet, rosey syrup. Your mouth by now should be watering which means you're in the mood to try these vivacious creations.
The trick, if i may say so myself, is to ensure the syrup is not saccharine sweet as it draws away from the mild sweetness of the dumplings themselves. You can almost, just almost relate them to donuts, but without the doughy feel.
I recommend trying these babies out next time you're in the mood for something hot with a sweet touch. My favourite place to try them is at Urban tadka, but various restaurants around your neighbourhood have them, but in my opinion the venues that make them fresh are the best ones to go to.
