Gulab jamun is a popular Indian dessert consisting of small dough balls deep fried and soaked in sugary syrup. The dough is made from milk powder or flour, with saffron and cardamom added for flavor. The balls are deep fried until golden brown then soaked in a sugar syrup, which is often flavored with rose water or other spices. Gulab jamun makes a sweet ending to Indian meals and are traditionally served during Diwali celebrations.
