GULAB JAAMUN RECIPE
Ingredients:-
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tablespoons butter -melted
Whole milk just enough to make the dough
For the Sugar Syrup
2 cups Sugar
1 cup water
Oil for frying
How to make gulab jaamun:-
·
Make the dough by
combining the milk powder and butter. Add just enough whole milk to make a
medium-hard dough. Divide the dough into 18-20 portions. Make balls by gently
rolling each portion between your palms into a smooth ball. Place the balls on
a plate. Cover with a damp yet dry kitchen towel.
·
Heat the oil on
high and then lower the heat to medium. Slip in the balls into the hot oil from
the side of the pan, one by one. They will sink to the bottom of the pan, but
do not try to move them. Instead, gently shake the pan to keep the balls from
browning on just one side. After about 5 mins, the balls will rise to the
surface. The Gulab Jaamuns should rise slowly to the top if the temperature is
just right. Now they must be gently and constantly agitated to ensure even
browning on all sides.
·
If the temperature
of the oil is too high then the gulab jaamuns will tend to break. So adjust the
temperature to ensure that the gulab jaamuns do not break or cook too quickly.
·
The balls must be
fried very slowly under medium temperatures. This will ensure complete cooking
from inside and even browning.
Sugar Syrup
·
The syrup should be
made earlier and kept warm. To make the hot sugar syrup add mix the 2 cups of
sugar to 1 cup of water. Add 4-5 cardamom pods, slightly crushed and a few
strands of "Kesar". Mix with a spoon and then heat at medium heat for
5-10 minutes until sugar is all dissolved in water. Do not overheat, that will
caramelize the sugar.
·
Transfer this hot
syrup into a serving dish. Keep warm on stove. Add the fried gulab jaamuns
directly into the warm syrup. Leave gulab jaamun balls in sugar syrup overnight
for best results. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
