These round, dark, syrupy jamuns taste as good as they look. What's more,
they make a versatile gift. They can be had on any occasion, anytime of the
year and they are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. A majority of sweetmeats
are milk preparations usually soaked in syrup.
Gulab Jamun is one of the favorite Indian desserts. They are golden brown
balls in flavored sugar syrup. They are served warm or at room temperature.
They are also available ready-made here in the Indian grocery stores in cans
or if you are there are instant mix that you can buy and make following the
instructions. You can also go to the sweetmeat shops and buy them fresh.
Agra, Calcutta and
Delhi are famous
