Paneer Gulab Jamun Recipe (Delicious Diwali Sweet)
Paneer Gulab Jamuns are wonderful little cottage cheese balls that are shaped into a delectable Indian sweet - The Gulab Jamuns. This recipe is a version of Bengal’s famous Channa Jalebi or Paneer Jalebi. Instead of small balls, these jamuns can even be shaped into Jalebis, but this can get time-consuming especially when prepared for a large gathering. These Paneer Gulab Jamun Recipe (Delicious Diwali Sweet) are subtly sweet and add a beautiful flavour to the festivities when served along with festive meals like Puran Poli Recipe With Toor Dal And Chana Dal, Kakdi Chi Koshimbir Recipe (Maharashtrian Style Cucumber Salad), Makki Ki Puri Recipe (Maize Flour Fried Indian Bread) and Aloo Dum (Slow Cooked Potatoes in a Spicy Tomato Gravy).
