Gulab Jamun is the best thing you can get in sweets, it has the taste of joy. How often can we buy from outside, sometimes it’s not even as per taste so, the best idea is to make them at your home as you like.
Gulab Jamun originated in the Indian subcontinent, mainly made with khoya or milk powder, dry fruit toppings, etc. It can be consumed with any temperature. If you are a big gulab jamun fan, eating a single gulab jamun ball or even two will not cause major damage to a healthy diet plan, but it’s not something that we can add in our healthy diet chart, you can have it on occasions that come once or twice in a year, that too homemade.
Gulab jamun was first prepared in medieval India and was developed from a fritter that Central Asian Turkic invaders carried to India. Other theory claims that it was accidentally prepared by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s chef. Gulab Jamun, of course, adds calories to your body but no one eats it on regular basis, people like to have them occasionally of course.
