Gulab Jamun Ingredients

Method

Gulab Jamun Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sugar Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add rose water and cardamom powder, then remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine khoya, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Mix well and gradually add milk to form a soft dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Shape the Balls

    Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball, ensuring there are no cracks.

  4. 4

    Fry the Balls

    Heat ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, gently add the dough balls. Fry until they turn golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

  5. 5

    Soak in Syrup

    Once fried, remove the balls from the oil and drain them briefly. Immediately place them in the warm sugar syrup. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes before serving.
