Dry Gulab Jamun

Dry Gulab Jamun is a variation of the iconic gulab jamun, a sweet with roots in North India and strong influences from Persian and Mughal-era milk desserts. Traditionally soaked in sugar syrup, the dry version evolved as a more travel-friendly and gifting-friendly alternative, where excess syrup is reduced or absorbed. This style is commonly found in premium sweet shops and festive gift boxes, especially during weddings and celebrations.

Dry Gulab Jamun offers a soft, dense, and melt-in-mouth texture with a controlled sweetness. Made from khoya-based dough, each piece is fried to a deep golden brown and lightly coated in sugar syrup—enough to infuse flavor without making it overly soaked. The result is a rich, milky taste with subtle hints of cardamom, a smooth outer finish, and a satisfying bite that’s less messy and perfect for gifting or portioned indulgence.

Dry Gulab Jamun is best enjoyed fresh within a day at room temperature. If refrigerated, it can stay fresh for 3–5 days. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If refrigerated, allow it to rest at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes before serving to experience its optimal texture and flavor.

Dry Gulab Jamun is available in 250g, 500g, and 1kg packs, making it ideal for both personal enjoyment and festive gifting. It is freshly prepared and available at MithaiCana Bangalore locations in Jayanagar and Marathahalli, and can also be ordered online for convenient pickup or delivery.
