Gulgula Recipe

Gulgula is a traditional Indian deep-fried sweet dumpling made from a simple batter of whole wheat flour, mashed bananas or sugar, and a hint of fennel seeds. The batter is dropped in small spoonfuls into hot oil, where it puffs up into golden-brown, spongy balls with a slightly crisp exterior. These treats are beloved for their rustic, comforting sweetness and are often prepared during festivals or as a quick tea-time snack. Best served warm, gulgula offers a delightful contrast of textures and a subtle earthy flavor that makes it a timeless homemade dessert.
