Ingredients:
For Gulab Jamun:
- Full-fat Milk Powder - 1 cup
- All-purpose flour - 2 Tablespoon
- Baking Soda - ¼ Teaspoon
- Clarified Butter - 2 Tablespoon
- Milk - 4-7 Tablespoon
- Vegetable oil to deep fry
For Sugar Syrup:
- Granulated Sugar - 2 cup
- Water - 3 cup
- Green Cardamom - 4-5 Nos
- Lemon Juice - 1 Teaspoon
- Rose essence - ¼ Teaspoon
Instructions:
Sugar Syrup Preparation:
- Take sugar, water, cardamom pods in a sauce pan, bring to a boil on high heat.
- Then reduce the heat to medium and boil until the syrup is slightly sticky for about 4-6 minutes on medium heat. Stir occasionally. You don't need the syrup to get one thread consistency.
- Now reduce heat to very low, add in the lemon juice, rose essence and mix well.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
Gulab Jamun Preparation:
- In a bowl, add in the milk powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda and mix well.
- Add in the ghee and mix well using your hand until the mixture turns crumbly.
- Now add in the milk as batches, gently mix and make a soft dough. Don't over-mix.
- Meanwhile heat enough oil to deep fry the jamuns in a deep sauce pan. Once the oil is hot, reduce heat to very low.
- Now grease your hands with little oil, take marble sized portions out of the dough and roll it in between your palms and make perfect balls without any cracks.(refer notes)
- Add in the prepared balls into the hot oil(3-4 at a time).
- Fry until dark golden brown on very low heat. Turn the jamuns to all sides using a spoon for even frying.
- Transfer to a kitchen paper towel , let it sit for 1 minute.
- Then add the fried jamuns into the sugar syrup. Continue the process until you finished with frying all the gulab jamuns.
- Let the fried jamuns soak in the sugar syrup for at-least 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Enjoy :)
Yield: Makes about 25-30 medium sized gulab jamuns.
Important Notes:
- Don't change the quantity of baking soda, otherwise the jamuns turn chewy.
- If cracks appear while making balls, it means the mixture is dry. So add little more milk and knead the mixture slightly and start making the balls.
- Make 3-4 balls at a time and fry them immediately.
- Fry the jamuns over very low heat, otherwise outside of the jamuns turn brown and the inside remains uncooked.
- Normally the jamuns turn to all sides automatically. If not, turn to all the sides for proper frying.
- Make sure that the syrup is warm or at room temperature, when you put the fried jamuns into this. Otherwise the jamuns may shrink or lose its shape.
