Many shades of the delicious Gulab Jamun

The delectable globe of deliciousness is no doubt one of the most famous Indian sweets.

That’s why it has seen so many variations.

The gulab jamun has been effectively paired with a variety of other traditional and non-traditional sweets...

…Giving it a contrasting flavour and texture, making it an experiential indulgence. 

Some of the most sought-after versions are the crispier crusted, sugar-coated gulab jamun of Kumbakonam.

The innovative Gulab Jamun Cheesecake with its curiously delicious taste, is a novelty.

Relish it when served with payesh, phirni, ice cream, and even rabri.

There are varieties that come with fillings, much like rabri-filled chum chum and lyngcha.

The mawa batti, khoya jalebi, and kali jalebi paired with meetha paan are close cousins of the gulab jamun.

The Marwari Gulab Jamun and the gulab jamun ki sabzi are also very famous.

The rasabali, zauq e shahi, jhure ka rasgulla… 

…And the Amritsar Rasguliya and pantua with mishri are also tasty versions of the gulab jamun.

Gulab Jamun lends texture, taste, and twist to any dessert it is paired with. 

That’s why it is one of the most loved sweets in India.
