Encyclopedic overview
Gulab jamun is a sweet dessert or mithai, originating in the South Asia, and popular in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, the Maldives, and Burmese cuisines. It is also common in nations with substantial populations of South Asian diaspora.
It is made mainly from milk solids, traditionally khoya, which is milk reduced to the consistency of a soft dough. Modern recipes call instead for dried or powdered milk. It is often garnished with dried nuts, such as almonds and cashews.
