Jodhpuri Gulab Jamun Ki Sabzi

Gulab Jamun ki Sabzi is one of the Rajasthani dishes where the Gulab Jamuns are fried and instead of dipping them in sugar syrup they are dipped in tomato and cashew gravy.

Gulab Jamun ki Sabzi is a traditional and regional Rajasthani curry which is very rich and delicious. This vegetarian speciality is very famous in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Gulab Jamun ki Sabzi is an amazingly innovative savoury vegetable recipe by keeping raw Gulab Jamun as the main ingredient. It is Gulab Jamun balls which, rather than dipping in sweet syrup, is dipped in rich savoury gravy. This is a heavy to eat recipe as the Gulab Jamun Balls is fried in ghee and then made in rich gravy, again using ghee and cashew nut paste.

In Jodhpur one can find vendors selling some raw Jamuns which are not soaked in the syrup and just fried balls. So the Rajput women over there is said to have innovated this curry out of the unsweetened Jamun.
