Gulab jamun is one of the traditional sweets of India. It is also familiar in Pakistan, Bangladesh and few of our neighbor countries too. I think no one is there without tasting Gulab Jamun. It is most of the people favorite sweet. I love Jamuns forever!!!! This is the first time I tried from scratch. I refer recipe from Pallavi's space - Cook Eat Burp.  Thanks Pallavi!!!


Ingredients

For Jamuns

Milk powder - 1 cup
Maida - 1/4 cup
Ravai - 1 1/2 tsp
Ghee - 5 tsp
Water/ Milk - 1/2 cup or less
Baking powder - a pinch
Pistachio - for garnishing

For Sugar syrup

Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 1 cup
Cardamom powder - a pinch

Method 

Sugar Syrup

  • Bring water and sugar to boil for 5 minutes. 
  • Add cardamom powder, once it started boiling. 
  • Simmer the flame or Off the stove.
  • While adding jamuns to the syrup, syrup should be more warm, but not hot.

Jamuns

  • Mix all the ingredients together into a soft dough and close it with lid or any towel.
  • Keep it aside for 15 to 20 minutes.

  • Then make them into medium sized balls.

  • Heat oil / ghee for deep fry.
  • Once it is hot, reduce it to low flame and fry all the jamuns.

  • Finally add jamuns to the sugar syrup.

  • If you would like to garnish, garnish it with pistachio, almonds, coconut flakes, cashews or as wish any nuts.


Note

  • While frying jamuns, turn the jamuns in the equal interval to get same color all through the jamuns.
  • Before frying all jamuns, fry one jamun for sample. According to that result, you can manage the flame.
