Gulab jamun (gul-aab jaa-mun) is a popular Indian sweet dish comprised of fried dough in a sweet syrup flavoured with cardamom seeds and rosewater or saffron. It may have originated from eastern India (Orissa and Bengal). Gulab jamuns are equally as popular in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Gulab jamun is pronounced "gulab jambuh" in regional languages such as Gujarati. The preparation of the dough only takes a few minutes, but the hard bit is frying them. You have to keep a very close eye on them. And if you put too much flour in, they will most likely break into crumbs, and they will taste bad. Also when you roll the dough into balls, make sure you squeeze them tightly so they dont have any cracks in them, otherwise they will fall to bits in the fry-pan.
