Indian Dessert Gulab Jamun Recipe by Aparna Narang

1984

Gulab Jamuns are a very popular Indian Dessert and can be enjoyed hot or cold. Hot gulab jamuns with cold vanilla ice cream is an awesome combination. Traditionally, this sweet is made with khoya – where milk is slowly simmered in a large pan, till all its moisture evaporates and it reduces to solid mass. 

Aparna Narang at her cookery demo, shared her recipe of gulab jamuns made with full cream milk powder, this reducing preparation time and simplifying the process.  The gulab jamuns tasted great.
