We Indians have a special corner in our heart for desserts. There are a few desserts that have been ruling our hearts for ages and gulab jamun is one of them. These sinful small fried balls are ubiquitous in India and loved by a lot of people. Did you know about how this popular sweet came to being? Well, if some food legends are to be believed, gulab jamun was accidentally created by a royal chef of Shah Jahan’s kitchen.
Some other legends claim that Gulab Jamun's origin is similar to the popular Arabic dessert “luqmat al qadi”, made up of deep-fried dough balls dipped in honey with sugar on the top. Did you know that gulab jamun is like Persian bamieh and the Turkish tulumba? It is possible that these desserts might have inspired the Mughal cooks. Since years, Gulab Jamun has managed to rule the hearts of people and the best part? It is available at almost every sweet shop throughout India.
