Rose Malai Jamun - A Virtual Birthday Treat To Priya Ranjit

Today is a celebration day for me, yes am celebrating my sister's birthday virtually. She is none other than my sweet sister Priya Ranjit, who blogs at Cook Like Priya. She is not only a blogger, a fantastic friend, a down to earth person, a jovial darling who never fail to make you laugh with her instant jokes.We, a bunch of my co-bloggers aka friends joined our hands together to celebrate her birthday virtually. Eventhough we live in different countries,the distance between us may separate us but the love we have for each other is just growing day by day. The Theme for this virtual birthday treat is rose colour dishes. Immediately i thought of making beets kheer,rose milk and list goes on. But finally i went for making an interesting fusion dessert with gulab jamun,malai and Rooh Afza , sounds quite innovative na. Roof Afza is a non alcoholic concentrated squash sold commercially as a syrup to flavor sherbets,cold milk drinks,icecream and many more cold desserts.

Trust me,this rose malai jamun was a big hit at home and we couldnt stop ourself having this juicy,spongy,very delicious rose malai jamun. If you want to make a different sweet for a celebration, i'll definitely advice you to give a trial to this incredible sweet. In case if you dont like rose flavour, just skip the addition of roof afza syrup and just enjoy this sweet as Malai jamun.

Sis...

I dont talk to you everyday, but you are in my heart everyday. A sister can be a good friend and you are. You are the best, most wonderful,lovingest sister in the world. Happy birthday to my wonderful sister, enjoy your birthday and make more memories.
