Gulab Jamun is a dessert common in the countries of the Indian subcontinent. The Persian word Gulab (گلاب) means rose, as rosewater syrup is often used, although saffron syrup and honey are also common. Jamun may refer to the jambul fruit, which is usually of a similar size to pieces of the dessert.

There are various claims regarding the originator of the dish, with some saying a Sikh chef named Sajjan Dhillon first prepared it as a delicacy for the king of Punjab. The dessert also became popular throughout the Ottoman Empire.
