Our gulab jamun are made from milk solids, fried slowly until deep golden, then soaked in warm, scented syrup so they turn soft all the way through.

Where it comes from

The name joins gulab, rose (for the rose-scented syrup), and jamun, a dark Indian fruit the dumplings resemble. Food historians trace the dessert to sweets brought to India from Persia.

No Indian celebration is complete without it: gulab jamun is served at Diwali, weddings and birthdays across India and the diaspora.
