Gulab Jamuns are fried dough (mainly made of milk solids) balls soaked well in sugar syrup flavoured with cardamom, rosewater or saffron. .Ingredients:
Gulab Jamun mix- 1 cup(contains 1cup milk powder, 1/4 cup all purpose flour, pinch of baking soda)
Milk - 1/4 cup
For Sugar Syrup:
cardamom - 2 crushed
saffron - 4 string (optional)
Sugar - 2 cups
Water - 4 cups
Oil for frying.
Preparation:
Combine 1/4 of milk with 1 cup of gulab jamun mix, set aside and let it stand for 20 mins.
Heat water in a medium size pan, add the sugar and cardamom for 20 mins. Set aside.
take the dough and knead softly, divide in to equal sized small balls, Make sure you it has a smooth surface.
Heat oil in a pan, let it heat in low flame between 3-4.
Once the oil is hot enough drop the shaped doughs in to the oil about 5-6 at a time. it will rise slowly from the bottom of the pan to the top layer. If the oil is too hot, the outer layer of the dough will turn dark soon.
Keep turning the jamuns once in a while and it will take about 5-6 mins to cook, cook till the jamun turns Golden brown.
Remove from oil and drop it in sugar syrup. It need to be soaked in the sugar syrup for at least 20 mins before serving.
