How to prepare gulab jamun?

.a. In a large saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring it to a boil.

b. Stir until the sugar dissolves, and then simmer for 5-7 minutes to form a slightly sticky syrup.

c. Add saffron strands (if using), cardamom powder, and rose water to the syrup. Mix well, then remove it from the heat and set it aside.

Prepare the Gulab Jamun Dough:

a. In a mixing bowl, combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cardamom powder.

b. Add ghee and mix it into the dry ingredients using your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

c. Gradually add milk and knead to form a soft and smooth dough. You may need more or less milk, so add it a little at a time.

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

Fry the Gulab Jamun:

a. Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat. To check if the oil is at the right temperature, drop a small piece of dough into it. If it rises to the surface and sizzles, the oil is ready.

b. Gently place the dough balls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them on low to medium heat, stirring gently, until they turn golden brown. This may take about 5-7 minutes.

c. Remove the fried Gulab Jamun with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil by placing them on a paper towel.

Soak the Gulab Jamun in Sugar Syrup:

a. While the fried Gulab Jamun are still warm, place them in the prepared sugar syrup. Ensure the syrup covers the Gulab Jamun completely.

b. Allow the Gulab Jamun to soak in the syrup for at least 1-2 hours so they become soft and sweet.

Serve:

Serve Gulab Jamun warm or at room temperature. You can garnish them with chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds if you like.
