Few weekends back we were invited for dinner at my hubby's friends place. It was a perfect evening with wine, good food and good company. The highlight being the dessert served. The hostess had made my all time favourite gulab jamuns!!! Though i dont have a sweet tooth, this is one exception i really relish. Infact its always being associated with all birthdays and anniversaries at my mom's house. We had a very interesting ritual wherein all of us would be up till midnight, the day before such a occassion. Mom would lovingly make the most amazing gulab jamuns. Then at the stroke of 12, she would feed the celebrity(s) of the day, all of us would sing wishes, gobble down a few gulab jamuns and retire for the night. Ive had some beautiful memories associated with this ritual.
Anyways coming back to this the dinner party, the hostess had prepared amazing gulab jamuns with the right texture n sweetness level. But what amazed me was the style of serving. She had served the gulab jamuns topped with Vanilla ice cream!! Though im a die hard fan of the tradional serving style, i must say this was a very interesting and tasty combination. The creaminess of the ice cream attached a special touch to the gulab jamuns. This is definetly worth a try!!!
Also another interesting combo hosted on rediff.com caught my eye. These gulab jamuns were really intoxicating. They were dipped in a mixture of sugar syrup and alcohol. Wow!!! Im not sure how that would taste, but sure sounds interesting!!!. Anybody willing to try??? Will let you know the outcome if i ever do try it.

Oh wow swati, the idea of vanilla icecream is worth a try, but i m not very sure abut the dipped gulab jamun in alcohol... may be a combination of vanilla icecream with a dash of some alcohol wud be different rather than actually dipping the entire jamun in alcohol, may be that wud be abit more ...
this is the reveiw abut your written blog, i remember once you had tried to write abut an experience when we were in gates, but that time what you wrote sounded more like an school eassay but now the style in which you have written is EXCELLENT... ofcourse your punch lines were always the best!!!
