Ingredients for making Gulab Jamun
Maida- 1 cup
Mawa (khoya) grated – 2 cups
Cardamom powder – 1/2 tsp
Saffron -1 pinch
Baking soda – half a pinch
Ghee / oil – Sugar for frying
– 2 cups (as per taste)
To make Gulab Jamun, first of all, start preparing the sugar syrup. For this, put sugar and water in a utensil and put it on the gas on medium flame. When the water starts boiling, mix cardamom powder as well. Add saffron threads for some time. When the sugar syrup is being made, increase the flame of the gas. It will take about 15 minutes to prepare sugar syrup for Gulab Jamun. After the sugar syrup is ready, turn off the gas.
Now work on the mawa in another utensil. Put refined flour and baking soda in it. Now, mix all the ingredients well and knead the dough. If water is required for kneading the dough, then use milk instead of water. After kneading the dough, make Gulab Jamun balls from the prepared dough and keep them separately on a plate. To make them, first, apply some ghee to your hands.
Now put ghee in a pan and heat it on medium flame. After melting the ghee, put the pre-prepared Gulab Jamuns in the pan and deep fry them. When the Gulab Jamuns turn light golden, take them out and leave them in the prepared sugar syrup. Before this, heat the sugar syrup lightly again. Dip the Gulab Jamuns in the sugar syrup for at least 1 hour so that they absorb the sugar syrup properly. Now your tasty Gulab Jamuns are ready to serve.
