Reviews
“While an excellent base for making gulab, this recipe makes the whole thing seem difficult and a little intimidating in terms of ingredients — for example, cardamon and vanilla work as well as rose and saffron for a good syrup, and any kind of milk will do for the dough (even skim, if you mix in just a little melted butter).Also, there isn’t nearly enough baking powder, and the frying is more easily done in cheaper and more veratile peanut oil.But thanks for giving the basic idea to aspiring Indian cooks out there!”
