Homemade Gulab Jamun

This must be most famous and most loved dessert served hot n cold. Most people make with the ready made mixes available at stores but i can surely give u a promising word that you ll never again buy the ready made mix from shops if you try this for once... The taste, texture and the easiness will be the reason and who doesn't like a great gulab jamun made from scratch...



Ingredients:

JAMUN:

Milk Powder - 1 cup
Maida/ All Purpose Flour - 1/4 cup

Method:

* In a large mixing bowl add the milk powder, ghee, maida and baking soda and mix well till the ghee blends well with the flour then add milk little by little and make a soft dough out of it. (Not necessary to use the whole 1/2 cup milk)
* Keep the dough covered and let it rest for 10 mins.
* Meanwhile make the sugar syrup with the water, sugar and cardamom powder.
* Let the syrup mixture come to boil, then add the rose essence / rose water and switch off the heat and set aside.
* Now apply ghee to the palms and make small balls out of the dough ( i got 28 balls with this measurement)
*Bring the oil to medium heat and fry the jamuns till golden brown and drain the oil and directly dip them in to the hot sugar syrup.
* Once the jamuns have absorbed the syrup and enlarged and soft serve hot or cold as ur wish.
