In the spirit of writing about Holi, the Festival of Colors in India, I will also be frying up some Gulab Jamun. “This delicious dessert consists of dumplings traditionally made of thickened or reduced milk, soaked in rose flavored sugar syrup. It gets its name from two words: Gulab which means rose (for the rose flavored syrup) and Jamun which is a kind of deep purple colored Indian berry (the cooked dumplings are dark brown in colour). Serve Gulab Jamun warm or at room temprature; by itself or topped with ice cream” (Sarkar, “Gulab Jamun”). Below I have posted a video with instructions on how to create this amazing dessert! This dessert is primarily eaten during events such as Holi and Diwali!

Yum! And brings back good memories. My uni roommate’s family was from Kerala, and she used to make them sometimes.

Sorry. That was a dumb question. Not sure what I was thinking since I am following you! I see it. Just that when I clicked your gravitar, it sent me to an empty site at first. Ok, if you like to try stuff, maybe Korean pancakes would be fun. http://www.trifood.com/pajeon.asp

YUM! I will definitely research that! It takes a little while because I learn the history to go along with it. 🙂
