Gulab Jamun


Gulab Jamun




Gulab Jamun is one of the most popular Indian dessert which is loved by one and all. It can generally be consumed either hot or cold, but I prefer having it hot.

Today, I am sharing a very simple way of preparing this dish which can be prepared at home rather than making an effort to buy it outside.

Ingredients:
  • 200 grams Khoya/khava
  • 200 grams instant gulab jamun mix
  • 1 tea spoon rava
  • milk as required
  • oil or ghee for deep frying
Sugar Syrup:
  • 3-4 cups sugar
  • 7-8 cups water
  • 1/4 tea spoon cardamom powder

Method:

In a large vessel add sugar, water and cardamom powder and make sugar syrup. Boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Ensure that syrup does not become very thin/thick. Make it into one string consistancy.

In a large bowl take khoya (khava), instant gulab jamun mix and rava, mix together. Drizzle some milk and knead together to make a soft dough. The quantity of the milk varies depending on the type of khoya (khava) you are using for the preparation.

Make small round balls with the dough. Do not make large dough balls as they may increase in size when deep fried and larger when soaked in sugar syrup. Give them smooth and round shape, there should not be any cracks on the surface of the balls, because it causes it to break in the sugar syrup.

Heat oil or ghee. To check if the ghee or oil is of the correct temperature, drop one ball and if it goes to the base and rises slowly on the oil surface and starts browning, then the oil is of the right temperature to fry the dough balls. Do not overheat the oil or ghee. Now deep fry all the dough balls to golden brown on a medium low flame.

Once the first lot of the deep fried balls are out, keep them aside and after few minutes add them to the sugar syrup. I always add them to the syrup when the syrup is hot. Repeat the same procedure till all the gulab jamuns are done. Soak them for 4-5 hours .

Now the gulab jamuns are ready to be served.
