gluab jamun............Sweeeeeeeeeeet

Ok not a biggy any one can do it, what i used was a pre-mix powder from gits. It was 100gm packet, to get really good results few precautions
  • Don't over heat the oil, start with medium heat and when half done reduce to low
    • to check heat just drop a small piece of dough it should immediately float
  • Don't make big round balls, diameter should be approx 3/4 of an inch
    • i chose to make cylindrical shape (approx half the size of AAA battery)
  • Double check the consistency of the sugar syrup
Ok Follow the instructions on back of the Pre-mix packet, while making dough don't add water in one go, add half of the suggested amount first mix, then add the remaining half of water, Mix, and keep doing so till u get dough together after that just sprinkle little by little if needed.

what is correct softness of dough, well just like the clay or little less

Deep Fry - instructions above

Now for sugar syrup boil
  • really sweet 2 parts of sugar+1 part of Water
  • Not so Sweet 1 parts of sugar + 1 parts of water (problem gulab jamuns will become soggy)
add Kesar, cardamom(elaichi) if desired, Soak for 10-15 min and u r good to go!!
don't add in boiling syrup, it should be warm

Enjoy!!!

PS: dont have a picture they eaten by the time i wrote this :)
