gulab jamun
Fried milk dumplings
Gulab jamun is a South Asian dessert of fried dough balls soaked in sweet syrup flavored with rose water and cardamom.
The soft, spongy spheres are made from milk solids and served warm or at room temperature, often at celebrations and festivals: We ordered gulab jamun for dessert at the Indian restaurant.
