ABOUT Gulab Jamun RECIPE

Sweets form an integral part of Indian cuisine. Gulab Jamun is one of such sweets which are made in every household. I have many fond memories attached to Gulab Jamun. I remember my mom making them on almost all occasions. She always kept in mind to use fresh ingredients for making them rather the packaged ones. Although there are many ways of making I always stick to traditional one as it gives the best taste and texture. So heres my recipe which I learned from my mother. Hope you all like it.
