Gulab jamun and English summer fruits
Soft, melt-in-the-mouth gulab jamuns soaked in sweet lemon-scented syrup, beautifully balanced with fresh strawberries and raspberries. The contrast between warm, spongy milk dumplings and tart summer berries creates an irresistible dessert. Ensure the dumplings are thoroughly soaked in the syrup before serving.
