gulab jammon, ras malai and other balls or morsels made of flour or thickened milk and then fried in oil and then dunked in syrup or poached right in the syrup are fantastic

this kind of desert is popular and has many variations throughout india, pakistan all the way thru iran, yemen, lebanon, the middle east and greece!

Oh give them a try The spiciness of the flour cuts the sugar coating to create a nice balance

Hee Yeah many of our dishes ended up becoming distinctly Trinidadian while still retaining their ties to, and the names of, the ‘old countries’ Always fascinating and interesting to me to see how similar or dissimilar they have ended up being
When you give them a try let me know how they came out Fresh spices are the best and don’t let the sugar boil too long else it will not really coat the puffs, it will ‘seize’ up

Hope you’re having fun, I am hearing the fireworks going on in the neighborhood already

Oh! And the goolab jamoon freeze really well Just pop em in the microwave for a few seconds on high and they’re good to go! Think I’m gonna have one or two in a bit myself (from the above batch)

omg, sarina! one of my favourite indian desserts but i’ve never seen them THIS way. then, again, i’ve never visited your beautiful country (we have lots of trinidadians here where i live) to try them. [i think i gained weight looking at them!] i’ll have to try making them this way one of these days
