step by step
Method
- Step 1
Make the dough
- In a large bowl, mix the milk powder, flour, baking soda and cardamom powder.
- Add the ghee and rub it into the mixture with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add the milk and knead gently into a soft, smooth dough without over-kneading.
- Step 2
Rest the dough
- Cover the dough and let it rest.
- Step 3
Shape the balls
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into smooth, crack-free balls.
- Step 4
Prepare the sugar syrup
- In a pan, mix the sugar with the water.
- Add the cardamom powder, saffron and rose water.
- Bring to a boil and simmer until slightly sticky; it does not need to form threads.
- Step 5
Fry the gulab jamun
- Heat the oil in a deep pan on low-medium heat; it should be hot but not smoking.
- Gently add the balls into the oil.
- Fry on low heat, stirring continuously, until deep golden-brown.
- Step 6
Soak in the syrup
- Immediately place the fried gulab jamun into the warm sugar syrup.
- Let them soak until they expand and become soft.
