Gulab Jamun Recipe

Gulab Jamun is one of the most popular desserts in India.  It is made mainly from milk solids, traditionally from freshly curdled milk. These milks solids, known as khoya in India, are kneaded into a dough, sometimes with a pinch of flour, and then shaped into small balls and deep fried at a low temperature. It is a dessert often eaten at festivals or major celebrations such as marriages.

Here, I have used milk powder as a substitute for khoya.
