About Gulab jaman

Gulab Jamun is a popular dessert from Indian cuisine, cherished for its rich sweetness and soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Made from milk solids (traditionally khoya or powdered milk) and flour, the dough is shaped into small balls, deep-fried until golden brown, and then soaked in a sugary syrup flavored with rose water, cardamom, or saffron. This indulgent treat is high in calories and sugar due to its ingredients, making it a dense source of energy but less ideal for frequent consumption. While the use of milk solids provides some calcium and protein, these benefits are overshadowed by the high fat and sugar content. Traditionally served during festivals and celebrations, Gulab Jamun is best enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation, paired with a balanced meal to offset its richness.
