you can easily get them in any Indian restaurant. Making them is messy and needs an expert hand.

Must be served HOT! I hate it when some Indian buffets have it cold.

GJ are a treat that I am greatful for serving for desert. Otherwise I'd eat so many of them.

They are also sold in cans for home convenience like this one;

They sell for about 3 bucks a can from Indian grocers/convenience stores.

In that case you might also want to try another very famous Indian sweet : Jalebi

It is made from deep-fried, syrup-soaked batter and shaped into a large, chaotic pretzel shape

'nuff said.

Word of caution : Leave your calorimeter at home when you order these sweets cause they don't come in Light versions.

something tells me i've tried those before

do they taste fruity sweet? do they serve it cold? or do they taste salty

Posted by Omega_M on Jun-29-2007 16:26:

not fruity sweet or salty.

it's a milk solid dough deep fried in oil and then placed in a sugar syrup until saturation. It's usually served hot but some prefer to eat it out of the fridge.

Posted by AndreaCKY772 on Jun-29-2007 16:28:

oh wow! never tried that before then...

1.Gulab Jamun
2.Barfi
3.Cham Cham
4.Jalebi

I had #1 before. My hometown Indian restaurant serves them for the 1 desert they have included with the lunch buffet. Sometimes they mix it up with Cutup watermelon and rice pudding but the Galub when warm

2,3,4 ??? #4 I could try def looks cruchy??

Awesome, a lot of Bengali and North Indian sweets are absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS.

And Gulab Jamuns are soft, best served hotttt, and by the bucketload.

People have mentioned Jalebi's and Barfi, but another Indian sweet that is fantastic is the
Rasagulla . Served cold and dripping in syrup. Yunmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Godpapdi, Sonpak, Sandesh, Mishti, fucking hell im hungry. You guys should try these whenever you get the chance
