Gulab Jamun is a classic Indian dessert usually enjoyed during festive occasions, that no one can denied for it. Gulab meaning rose and Jamun meaning berry makes for Gulab Jamun as a berry-sized ball dunken in rose flavoured sugar syrup. I have made some changes and served gulab jamun in sweet vermicelli bowl to show it presentable.
