Gulab Jamun Ingredients

1 cup Milk powder

1 tablespoon 00 bread flour

1 teaspoon Baking soda

2 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)

1 cup Milk

2 cups sugar

1 cup Water

4 whole Cardamom pods

1 tablespoon Rose water

2 cups Oil (for frying)

Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Sugar Syrup

In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and cardamom pods. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Add rose water and set aside to cool.

Make the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, and baking soda. Add ghee and mix well. Gradually add milk to form a soft dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Shape the Gulab Jamun

Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll them into smooth balls, ensuring there are no cracks.

Fry the Balls

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the dough balls in batches, cooking until they are golden brown all over. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Soak in Syrup

While the gulab jamuns are still warm, immerse them in the sugar syrup. Allow them to soak for at least 1 hour before serving.
