Gulab Jamun (often spelled Golap Jamun) is a popular South Asian dessert made from deep-fried dough balls soaked in sugar syrup. The dough is typically made from khoya (reduced milk solids) or milk powder, flour, and a bit of baking soda or baking powder to make it soft and spongy. After frying until golden brown, the balls are soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup flavored with cardamom, rose water, or saffron.
