Traditional Gulab Jamun

Gulab Jamun is one of the tastiest Pakistani deserts and the taste is simply delightful. The name derives from a pair of words. Gulab stands for “rose” and relates to the rose syrup. Jamun is a deep purple Indian berry that looks like dark brown dumplings when baked. The rose syrup gives the dessert a delicate aroma and makes it feel both decadent and very sweet.

With the progression of time, numerous provincial assortments of Gulab Jamun emerged, each having its very own spellbinding story. One such variety is the treat ‘Ledikeni’, from West Bengal. It is round and hollow fit as a fiddle and that is the main contrast among it and the Gulab Jamun. Ledikeni has an energizing story behind it being named so. During the 1850s, Bhim Chandra Nag, one of Calcutta’s splendid confectioner was approached to set up an uncommon sweet for Lady Canning, the spouse of Governor-General Lord Charles Canning, who was coming to India to be with her better half. The sweet dazzled Lady Canning, and she turned out to be so enamoured with it that local people before long began alluding to it as ‘Ledikeni’- an error of her name.

Today, Gulab Jamun forms a piece of the ‘spiritus mundi’ of the larger part of Indians. With time, it has gotten famous in different places too. It is enjoyed in Nepal and Pakistan, where it passes by the name Gulab Jamun as it were. It is known as ‘Gulaabujaanu’ in the Maldives and as ‘Gulab Jam’ in Bangladesh and Myanmar. It is likewise basic in Mauritius, Fiji, the Malay Peninsula, South Africa, and the Caribbean nations of Trinidad and Tobago, where, strangely, it is called ‘Rasgulla’.
