Dry Gulab Jamun is a variation where the sugar syrup is omitted, and the fried balls are rolled in a mixture of powdered sugar and cardamom. This results in a drier version of Gulab Jamun with a slightly crunchy exterior and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior. Dry Gulab Jamun is often served as a snack or as a part of festive platters. It is a great option for those who prefer a less sweet version of this beloved dessert.
