The best dessert I have ever eaten
It is impossible for me to finish a meal without having eaten something
sweet, it can be ice cream, a cake or a fruit, but the sweet can never be
missing!
Among all the desserts I have tried, there is one that definitely
resonates in my head and makes me hungry every time I think of it. This dessert
is called gulab jamun.
I know it sounds weird, but it isn’t! This dish is from the Pakistani
cuisine and Indian cuisine, it consists of a dough, which main ingredients are
khoya (evaporative condensed milk) and maida (flour), and which is then fried
in vegetable oil in the form of small balls. Then, they are dipped in a syrup
made with water, sugar, rose water, cardamom and colored with some saffron
threads that give it its characteristic red color.
The dish is native to eastern India (Orissa and Bengal). Although
gulab-jamuns are equally popular in Pakistan and Bangladesh. A similar dish
exists in Arabic cuisine that is also served as a dessert and is the lu'mat
al-adi (Arabic means judgment of bread). As in the Indian version, rose water
or even honey is used as a sweetener.
It goes without saying that it is a very sweet dessert, so personally I
recommend it accompanied with a cup of coffee or some liquor.
