Directions
Gulab Jamun (Indian Milk Balls),I just had this dessert at a Nepalese restaurant and want to save a copy for myself. There is already one recipe listed on the zaar, but I prefer this one, taken from indianfoodforever.com.,Since my husband and I are huge fans of Indian food, my young son was introduced to this dessert. He dubbed them “honey balls” and gets them any time we go to a restaurant. He thought these were delicious! I agree, they taste just like in the restaurant. I would just like to add that I rolled up the dough into the size of the ones I get at restaurants, but they ballooned out to twice their normal size once I put them into the syrup. Next time I am going to make them much smaller.,Thanks for this easy and delicious recipe. The detailed tips were helpful.
