Gulab Jamun - the most liked dessert. This classic Indian Dessert usually enjoyed during festive occasions. Gulab means rose and Jamun meaning berry, makes for Gulab Jamun as a berry-sized ball drunken in rose flavored sugar syrup.
Ingredients:
(For making jamun)
- Milk powder - 100 gram
- Maida - 50 gram (1/2 cup)
- Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
- Ghee - 2 tsp
- Milk (for kneading)
- Ghee or oil - for frying
(for sugar syrup)
- Sugar - 2 cup
- Water - 2 cup
- Cardamom - 2-3
- Saffron - 1/4 tsp
- Rose water - 1 tsp
- Lemon juice - 1/2 tsp
Process:
1. Firstly, in a bowl take milk powder, maida and baking powder and mix well. Add 2 tsp ghee and mix well making the flour moist. Further add milk as required to combine the dough. Make a soft dough, do not knead the dough, cover and rest for 10 minutes.
2. For preparing the sugar syrup, in a pan add 2 cup sugar and 2 cup water along with cardamom and saffron. Mic well and let it boil for 5 minutes or until the sugar syrup turns sticky. Turn off the flame and add 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp rose water. Lemon juice is added to prevent syrup from crystallizing. Cover and keep the syrup aside.
3. Now, from the dough, start to prepare small ball sized jamuns. Make sure there are no cracks in the jamun, if there are cracks then there are high chances for jamuns to break while frying.
4. Add oil in a pan and in medium hot oil or ghee, deep fry the jamun balls. Frying in ghee gives food flavor to jamuns. Stir continuously and fry on low flame until the jamuns turn golden brown. Drain off and transfer the jamun to the hot sugar syrup. Cover and rest for 2-3 minutes or until jamuns absorb the sugar syrup and doubles in size.
Serve hot or just a stand along chilled dish. Can garnish with some pistachio.
