I am leading you today to a cozy, delicious wonder of dessert that you can make on this Diwali. I know the festival of light is almost a month away, but I want my readers to give enough time in order to choose from an array of sweets and snacks. Let me mention one thing that I have started with an easy sweet condiment this year which can even be prepared by a novice cook.
I am proud to announce that this dry gulab jamun has only handful of ingredients which are already in your grocery stock I bet. If you are not a kind of person who stocks bread in the pantry, then just make a quick trip to your grocery store to buy a loaf of bread. You can choose unsweetened plain bread instead of salty one.
It’s the e happy time of Diwali and I don’t want you to be tied up all time in cooking, so this wonder of deliciousness that needs barely half an hour. I guess it’s worth to spend 30 minutes on this incredible dry gulab jamun which is juicy inside and has melt in mouth textured crest. These sugary sprinkled or sugar coated dry gulab jamun doesn’t even need a bowl and a spoon like the traditional one to gulp over.
So get ready to test it as pre-diwali sweet and let me know how it has turned.

No, it’s normal bread.
till how many days these dry jamun can be kept. I was thinking if I can carry them while traveling in a train.
My stock of dry jamun lasted within just two days. So I can’t exactly say the shelf life. But I guess it would get harder as the days pass.
