Gulab jamun (pronounced “goe-laab DJA-moen“) is a well-known and popular Indian dessert made of fried dough balls. A type of dumpling, gulab jamun is soaked in a sweet, sticky syrup. Gulab means ‘rose water’ so, as per tradition, the sugar syrup has a delicate rose flavour. A jamun is an Indian berry with a size and colour comparable to the dough balls, hence the name: Gulab jamun.
