Gulab jamun

I always use to make gulab jamun with the help of ready to mix but thought to make it the actual way this time and they came out perfectly. Its easy to make them just followed the recipe.

• Ingredients: For 16 pieces.

1. Khoya/Maava: 1& 1/2 cup.
2. Chena: 1/4 cup.
3. Refined flour/maida: 3 table spoon.
4. green cardamom: 8-10.
5. Baking soda- 3 pinch.
6. sugar : 2cups.
7. water: 2 cup.( for syrup).
8. Refined oil/ Ghee : for deep frying.

• Recipe:

Grate khoya and mash chena well , now mix the two . Next add refiend flour and baking soda to it.Now with the help of little water make soft dough.

Next divide this dough to make 16 small balls. 

 Take a vessel and put on high flame. add sugar and water into it. make syrup by stiring in between for 7-8 minutes till the syrup is thick and  sugar fully dissolve  ( it will be slightly pale in color). It will stick in your hand and will form a single wire like when taken and stretched between index finger and thumb. Now crush green cardemoms( take out the peel) and add into this syrup. 

Now heat oil/ghee in a wok ,add the balls and deep fry to get a golden brown color. Take them out with the help of  astrainer and then dip into sugar syrup for 15-20 minutes.

now serve the sweety slurpy gulab jamun to  your loved ones with love .

Happy cooking,
