Gulab jamun


Ingredients:

2 tbsp of all purpose flour
pinch of baking soda
1 Cup of Milk Powder
2 tsp Sooji (rava or semolina)
2 Cups Sugar
2 cups of water
1tsp of lemon juice
1/3 tsp of cardamom powder 
1 tbsp ghee(clarified butter)
Milk just enough to make the dough(warm)
Oil  for frying
Procedure:

Sugar syrup recipe:

firstly, in a wide pan take 1 cup of sugar to that add 1 cup of water and bring it to boil.

Then simmer for 4 minutes till the sugar syrup turns slightly sticky.

Now add cardamom powder and 1/2tsp of lemon juice (lemon juice stops the crystalization process).

Turn off the flame, Cover and keep it aside.

Gulab jamun recipe:

In a large mixing bowl add milk powder, maida, sooji, baking soda, ghee and 1/2 tsp of lemon juice. crumble them gently.

Slowly add milk little by little and knead well.

Knead to a smooth and soft dough, then make small balls greasing ghee to hands.

Make sure there are no cracks on balls. Else there are chances for gulab jamun to break while frying.

Heat the oil(you can use ghee instead of oil)on low flame and when the oil is moderately hot, fry the jamuns.

Fry the balls on low flame stirring continuously, fry till the balls turns golden brown. Immediately, drop the hot jamuns into hot sugar syrup. Cover the lid and rest for 2 hours. Make sure the flame is turned off. Finally, the jamuns have doubled in size.

Serve them hot or cold over some vanilla ice cream and enjoy.
                              

Good luck.
