Gulab Jamun is one of India's most beloved traditional desserts and a signature
specialty at Cilantro Kittchen & Bar. Our authentic recipe begins with khoya (milk solids)
mixed with flour and a touch of baking soda to create the perfect dough. The mixture is
shaped into small, smooth balls and deep-fried in ghee until they achieve a beautiful
golden-brown color.
What makes our Gulab Jamun special is the perfect balance of sweetness and texture –
soft and melt-in-your-mouth without being overly sweet. The dumplings are then soaked
in a fragrant sugar syrup infused with rose water, cardamom, and saffron, creating a
dessert that's both traditional and irresistible. We serve our Gulab Jamun warm, making
it the perfect sweet ending to any Indian meal.
