It has gained popularity in several countries, including Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Mauritius, Fiji, Gulf states, the Malay Peninsula, Great Britain, South Africa, and the Caribbean countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica, where there are substantial populations of people with South Asian heritage.

Traditionally, gulab jamun is made using khoya, which is milk reduced to the consistency of a soft dough. However, modern recipes often call for dried or powdered milk. It is commonly garnished with dried nuts like almonds and cashews to enhance its flavor.
