One of my all time favorite Indian dessert!! I go to Indian restaurants and have buffet just to eat their yummy yummy Gulab Jamuns!!!! Its indeed easy to make but you got to be very careful with the way you do... Its all tricky!!!
Ingredients:
For Jamuns:
Milk powder - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Maida - 1 tbsp.
Rava - 1 tbsp.
Warm Milk - 2 tbsp. + as required
Lime juice - 1 tsp
Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
Sugar Syrup:
Sugar - 1 1/2 cup
Water - 1 cup
Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
Rose water - 1/4 tsp
Saffron - 4 strands (optional)
Lime juice - 1 tsp
Method:
Sugar Syrup:
1. In a pan add sugar and water and bring to boil over high heat.
2. Once it starts to boil, reduce the flame to medium - low for 5-8 mins.
3. We don't need it in one string consistency. That means not too thick or not too thin.
4. Once you feel the consistency is as desired, off the flame and add lime juice, cardamom powder and rose water.
Jamuns:
1. In a bowl mix together milk powder, maida, rava and baking soda.
2. Add ghee and lemon juice into this and mix well with your hands until it turns crumby.
3. Add milk little by little until you get a soft dough.
4. Cover and keep aside for 5 mins.
5. Meanwhile heat oil in a pan. This is where you have to be careful. Keep you flame on low and the oil must not be too hot as well. Careful to maintain the temperature.
6. Now you can see your dough might have become a little dry. Add more milk if required.
7. Now make really small balls out of the dough. I got around 22 of them. Don't worry about making tiny balls because it will puff up as you fry and will be double the size when you dip them in the syrup.
8. Deep fry the balls on low heat until golden brown.
9. Drain the excess oil and immediately drop them in to the sugar syrup.
10. Let them soak for minimum of one hour.
11. Serve hot or cold as you like :) :)
