Filled Gulab Jamun in Rose Water Syrup

This is a classic Indian dessert favorite of many. These are dark golden brown fritters soaked in light syrup which is delicately flavored with rose water, saffron and cardamom. Although this version asks for a filling of your choice, it is not necessary to have a filling.
