we were just listening to Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet and we found ourselves longing for an alternative Tchaikovsky who was from, say, Maharashtra and wrote the Nutcracker in hindi, because they we could have had Dance of the Gulabjamun Deva

this may need explanation, so

Gulabjamun comes in many varieties, but is essentially a deep fried solid milk ball soaked in thin syrup, and if you can handle dairy (and fierce sweetness) they're an amazing treat

but wait! what does the name mean? gulab refers to the rose water scent in the syrup - and jamun? it means "looks like a plum"!

and here's a photo of some from Maharashtra

so Dance of the Rose-Scented Plumlike Deva would absolutely slap

Gulab Jamun is a delightful Indian dessert that is often served at festivals and special occasions. These Gulab Jamun doughnuts are a fusion twist on the classic recipe, combining the flavors of cardamom and rose water for a unique and delicious treat.

Ingredients: 1 cup of milk powder. 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup of ghee clarified butter. 1/4 cup of milk. 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. A pinch of cardamom powder. Oil for frying. For the sugar syrup:. 1 cup of sugar. 1 cup of water. A few saffron strands. 1/2 teaspoon of rose water.

Instructions: Mix the baking soda, ghee, all-purpose flour, and milk powder in a mixing bowl. Knead the mixture into a smooth dough by adding the cardamom powder and adding the milk gradually. It ought to be slightly sticky but still soft. Roll the dough into smooth balls by dividing it into small, equal portions. Make sure the dough balls are intact. In a deep fryer, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the dough balls in oil until golden brown, rotating them from time to time to ensure even cooking. This ought to take ten to fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, get the sugar syrup ready. Put the water and sugar in a different pan. After bringing it to a boil, simmer it for five to seven minutes, or until a slightly sticky syrup forms. Take the syrup off the heat and add the saffron strands and rose water. After the dough balls turn golden brown, take them out of the oil and use a paper towel to absorb any leftover oil. The Gulab Jamun, or deep-fried dough balls, are dipped into the warm sugar syrup. Make sure they absorb the syrup and turn tender and sugary by letting them soak for at least half an hour. Warm or room temperature Gulab Jamun doughnuts can be served. They're prepared for enjoyment!
