Sweet and sour, salt and spice, every experience needs to be coupled with a complementary, often contrasting experience in order to bring out the best of both. Likewise, a chaat platter must be finished off with a rich dessert in order to complete the enjoyment. And, what better mithai can you choose than our ever-popular Gulab Jamun! This recipe tells you how to make authentic Gulab Jamun, not with any readymade mixes, but with special hariyali mava, which gives the traditional sweet its rich mouth-feel and intense flavour.

I love gulab jamums. I thought it is very difficult to make, but when i tried this recipe it is so easy to follow and the result is also awesome. The taste and appearance both is so much like we get in the shops. The perfect sweetness and they are so so soft. Wonderful recipe.
