Gulgule are a traditional Indian sweet dumpling, often made for festive occasions and celebrations. Today, I’ve made them in an appe pan, which makes them soft, lacy, and delicious, using very little oil. They’re easy to make with basic pantry ingredients. For a decorative touch, I’ve added white sesame seeds, but you can skip them if you prefer.
