Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, mix the Gulab Jamun mix, milk powder, and a pinch of cardamom. Gradually add warm water and knead into a soft dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Sugar Syrup

    In a pot, combine sugar, 1 cup of water, remaining cardamom pods, and saffron strands. Boil until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and add rose water. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gulab Jamun

    Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into smooth balls. Make a small indentation in each ball and fill it with chopped almonds before sealing.

  4. 4

    Fry the Gulab Jamun

    Heat ghee in a deep frying pan over low heat. Fry the shaped Gulab Jamun balls until they turn golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Soak in Syrup

    Immerse the hot Gulab Jamun in the warm sugar syrup. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Garnish with Gold Leaf

    Carefully place a sheet of gold leaf on top of each Gulab Jamun before serving.
