I love Gulab Jamuns specially with a combination of ice-cream. Gulab Jamuns are something we all Indians love as a dessert especially when its soft and juicy and each bite just melts in your mouth….Gulab Jamuns are usually made with khoya or cottage cheese but I chose to make it the easy way with some milk powder which I learnt from my mom. I had always been thinking that my mom makes it with khoya and I have to say that she makes everything in such precision. I really wish I could learn that art from her.
