The Sweetest Sweets in the World - Indian "Gulab Jamun"!

The third Saturday in October is Sweetest Day. It is a day of commemoration that originated in the U.S. and is a day to express gratitude to loved ones. The literal translation is "the sweetest day!

So this time, I would like to try " Gulab Jamun," an Indian sweet that is said to be the "sweetest in the world!

What is gulab jamun?

Gulabjamun is a dough made of flour, sugar, and milk, formed into a round shape, deep-fried, and dipped in syrup. It is like a ball-shaped doughnut soaked in syrup.

I got the Haldiram gulab jamun (canned) from Amazon. The price is 698 yen (tax and shipping not included).

What's in the Gulab Jamun?

When you open the can, you will find 8 bite-sized doughnuts soaked in syrup. When you break them open, you can see that they are soaked to the inside! The smell is so sweet you'd think it was some kind of perfume already.

I

tried the gulab jamun

. The moment I ate it, it was extremely sweet, and as I chewed it, it became sweeter and sweeter, and by the time I swallowed it, the sweetness was so strong that it hit my brain! This is the ultimate sweet treat for those with a sweet tooth...!

Sweetness that does not disappoint

Along with the sweetness of the syrup, the spicy aroma of cardamom adds an ethnic flavor. But to be honest, it is so sweet that there is no room to pay attention to the spice. I could drink three cups of black coffee with just one of these.

But that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just too sweet, but tasty enough. If you like it, you will like it!

It

tastes even

better when heated. I looked at the can and saw that it says, "It tastes even better when heated. Let's try it!

I put it on a plate and warmed it lightly in the microwave. The spiciness of cardamom was stronger than the sweetness, and it was easier to eat than before! I could probably drink a cup of coffee with just one of these.

No more sweets today.

I have not eaten all the sweets in the world, so I cannot say for sure that it is the sweetest in the world, but at least it is one of the sweetest sweets I have ever eaten. I don't think there is anything in Japan that can compare to it! If I find one, I would like to confront it directly!
