Gulab Jamun Recipe

Gulab Jamun Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Sugar Syrup

   In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the sugar has dissolved completely. Add rose water and cardamom powder. Stir well, then remove from heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Dough

   In a mixing bowl, crumble the khoya and add all-purpose flour and baking powder. Combine all the ingredients to form a soft, smooth dough. If the dough is too dry, add a few drops of milk.

3. 3

   Shape the Jamuns

   Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into smooth balls, about the size of a marble. Make sure there are no cracks on the surface.

4. 4

   Heat the Ghee

   In a deep frying pan, heat ghee on medium heat. To check if the ghee is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough; it should rise to the surface slowly.

5. 5

   Fry the Jamuns

   Gently drop the balls into the hot ghee, frying them in small batches. Fry on low heat, turning occasionally until they are golden brown. This should take about 7-10 minutes.

6. 6

   Soak in Sugar Syrup

   Once fried, remove the jamuns and place them on paper towels to drain excess ghee. Then, transfer them to the warm sugar syrup and let them soak for at least 30 minutes before serving.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the gulab jamun warm, drizzled with a little extra rose syrup if desired.
