Instruction for gulab jamun

Prepare Balls:

1. Place grated khoya in a clean bowl. Please take note that khoya must be grated and not crumbled with fingers in order to make soft gulab jamun.
2. Add baking soda and maida. Combine them thoroughly but gently using a spoon.
3. Add a teaspoon of milk to it and knead all of them together to make a smooth and soft dough. Add another teaspoon of milk if required.
4. Make sure the dough is a little softer to prevent the ball from cracking while being deep-fried.
5. Divide the dough into equal parts and make smooth surfaced balls out of it.
6. Heat oil in a heavy-bottom pan over medium heat.
7. Deep fry the khoya balls in small batches over low heat until dark brown on both sides. Keep the flame low to medium while deep frying for even cooking.
8. Drain fried balls on a kitchen towel while you prepare sugar syrup

Making Sugar Syrup

1. Put the necessary amount of sugar and water in a large pan. For the sugar to dissolve, stir and bring to a boil over a high burner
2. Now add milk and cardamom seeds to the sugar water. Boil further and strain.
3. Then add saffron and cardamom powder and bring the mixture to a rolling boil for about 5-6 minutes until it becomes a little sticky.

Making Gulab Jamun

1. Then place the hot fried dough balls in the sugar syrup. Continue frying the rest of the dough balls in batches.
2. Then immerse the gulab jamuns in the warm sugar syrup for at least 30 minutes. It increases in size when it soaks the sugar syrup.
3.  The hot and tasty Gulab jamun is ready to serve.

Notes

• To make soft Gulab Jamuns, knead the dough very well so that no lumps remain.
• Always deep-fry Jamun over low to medium heat for even browning and cooking.
• It’s crucial that the gulab jamuns are warm when the hot sugar syrup is added, not at room temperature. If necessary, heat gulab jamun in the microwave for five minutes before soaking it in sugar syrup
• Let gulab jamun rest in sugar syrup for 1 – 2 hours to get soft and spongy.
