Gulab Jamun Samosa Recipe

Gulab Jamun Samosa Recipe Inspiration

Gulab Jamun samosa is a delicious sweet made combining two if my favourite dishes. I saw this at Vaishali’s blog and decided to make it. This is a really innovative recipe and only Vaishali can come up with such recipes. As I had some samosa dough recipes lined up, I decided to make this part of the batch.

Gulab Jamun to Be used

For the filling I used store bought gulab jamun instead of making a huge batch at home. If interested check out my gulab jamun recipes here in blog. The worst part of me on diet is the problem which arises on how to distribute the goodies. Sometimes hubby and Sruti fight to take it to their friends and sometimes, they both are uninterested.

So when I made six dishes a day, I know I was in trouble. That was a holiday and some boys were playing cricket outside. So I wanted to check my luck. I went outside and asked them whether they were interested in taking some sweets. They said ok, and I brought out all the samosas. They were just gone in seconds and I was really happy for that.  The other sweets Sruti and hubby took them to friends.

My aunt says that all those guys and friends of Sruti and Hubby are so lucky. I even got a thank you note from Sruti’s friend for all those sweets I send. When we meet in person, these girls ask their mom to learn such things from me. They even follow my blog and show their moms recipes. Hahaha!
