The National Dish of Pakistan is Gulab Jamun. Gulab Jamun is a sweet made primarily from milk solids, typically derived from 'khoya,' a substance created by reducing milk to a soft dough-like consistency.
Some contemporary recipes propose using dried or powdered milk as an alternative to khoya. The dessert is often adorned with dry fruits such as almonds and cashews to enhance its flavor.
The term "Gulab" is rooted in the Persian words 'gol,' meaning flower, and 'ab,' meaning water, alluding to the rose water-scented syrup used. "Jamun" corresponds to the Hindi term for an Indian fruit with a similar size and shape, commonly known as a black plum.
