How to Make Gulab Jamun

Instructions

    Step 1
  • In a mixing bowl, combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, ghee, baking soda, and yogurt. Knead the mixture into a smooth dough. If it's too dry, you can add a teaspoon of milk to make it soft.
  • Step 2
  • Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and roll them into smooth, crack-free balls.
  • Step 3
  • Heat oil or ghee in a deep frying pan over medium-low heat. The temperature should be around 160°C (320°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it rises slowly to the surface, the oil is at the right temperature.
  • Step 4
  • Gently slide a few dough balls into the hot oil. Fry them on low heat, continuously turning them to achieve an even golden brown color. This process takes about 10-12 minutes. Once done, remove them and drain excess oil.
  • Step 5
  • In a separate pan, combine sugar and water to create the sugar syrup. Add crushed cardamom pods and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat and add a few drops of rose water.
  • Step 6
  • Place the fried Gulab Jamuns into the warm sugar syrup. Allow them to soak for at least 2 hours so they can absorb the syrup and become soft and sweet.
  • Step 7
  • Serve the Gulab Jamuns warm or at room temperature, garnished with chopped pistachios or almonds. Enjoy this delightful Indian dessert!
