Story of Patna’s famous Gulab Jamun and Panatua

Patna. On hearing the name of Gulab Jamun, there is no such water in the mouth. Many such sweets in India which are originally from other countries, but the food fond of food should be brought to India and the eaters here liked that the people of every city started liking them. Gulab Jamun is also included in such sweets. Its history is also very interesting like taste. Some historians say that when it came from Persia, many say that India came from Türkiye. In his book “Bihar cuisine” by investigating Gulab Jamun, Patna’s famous litterateur Ravi Shankar Upadhyay writes that Gulab Jamun is a practical dessert. The taste of this dessert is scattered around the world.

Gulab has also dissolved sweetness in the history of Jamun

Writer Ravi Shankar Upadhyay says that there are many stories about the original country of this dessert, but the historians of the food say that Maharaj, who made food for the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, was invented by Gulab Jamun as an experiment. For the first time in South Asia, Gulab Jamun was introduced by Turkish invaders of Central Asia. Gulab Jamun is actually Persian name. In it, gul means flowers and berries means water. In South Asia, it is known by the name of Gulab Jamun but in Arabia and Iran it is called Lukmat al Qadi. Lukmat al Qadi is made from flour. Flour tablets are first fried in oil, then immersed in honey syrup, then sugar is sprinkled on top of it, but the ways of making it in different cities in India are almost the same.

Biharis made Panatua by experimenting

He further said that new experiments have been done in our country by taking sweets. We Bihar people also made a lot of experiments about their taste. When Gulab Jamun came to Bihar from Iran, the people here used it and gave it the form of Panatua. At that time, Bihar and Bengal were simultaneously. After the partition, it also came to Bihar and it settled in the hearts of people from Magadha to Mithila. Actually, Panatua is a different form of black berries, which is very famous in Bihar. This flavor also asks us to be proud of our experiments. The size of ‘Panatua’, which is made from mawa, sugar and milk, is small, but in the Test, he is far ahead of his Gulab Jamun.
