I have Shared a simple SOFT GULAB JAMUN WITH MILK POWDER  (go to recipe)recipe with you......

RECIPE NOTE: 

Gulab jamun  is among India's most popular desserts and it's often referred to as "Indian doughnuts." This delicious treat consists of soft, melt-in-your-mouth, fried dumplings that are traditionally made of thickened or reduced milk and soaked in rose-flavored sugar syrup.

Gulab jamun was first prepared in medieval India and was derived from a fritter that Central Asian Turkic invaders brought to India.Other theory claims that it was accidentally prepared by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's personal chef.

The word "Gulab" is derived from the Persian words gol (flower) and āb (water), referring to the rose water-scented syrup. "Jamun" or "jaman" is the Hindi word for Syzygium jambolanum, an Indian fruit with a similar size and shape, commonly known as black plum.
