Gulab Jamun is a popular dessert in South Asian cuisine, made from milk solids and soaked in a sugar syrup flavored with  saffron or cardamom. The dessert is soft, spongy, and often served warm or at room temperature.

Gulab Jamun is usually made by kneading together milk powder and all-purpose flour to form a dough. The dough is then rolled into small balls, which are deep-fried until golden brown. The fried balls are then soaked in a sugar syrup flavored with rose water or other flavorings, and left to soak  for several hours or overnight.

Gulab Jamun can be served on its own or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. It is also often served during festive occasions such as weddings, festivals and religious celebrations.
