Gulab Jamun
Gulab jamun is a very common sweet. Many love it. Its one of my sons favourites. This recipe was given to me by my friend but i have never tried it. I always make the MTR Gulab Jamun very easy and comes out good. I will tell how to make the ready made one too.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk Powder
- 1/2 cup Sooji (rava)
- 1 tsp Baking soda level tsp
- 1 tbsp Ghee heaped
- 1 kg Fresh Milk
- 1 tbsp Hot milk
- 1/2 cup Raisins ( optional )
- Oil for deep frying
- Few Saffron Flakes
For Sugar Syrup
- 2 cups Sugar
- 6 cups Water
Instructions
-
Make paneer from the one kg of milk. You should add lemon to the boiled milk to curdle it then take the solid part in a cloth and squeeze out the excess water.
-
To the paneer add sooji, ghee, baking soda and milk powder and knead gently adding one table spoon of hot milk.
-
Roll into small balls stuff the saffron flakes and raisins if using them.
-
Make the sugar syrup with the water and sugar keep it on low flame and let it thicken till a sticky consistency and switch off.
-
Now take a deep pan and add the oil and let it become hot now add the paneer balls and deep fry to golden brown and add the balls to the sugar syrup.
-
If using MTR gulab jamun mix follow the instructions on the pack. I use a little less sugar then what they specify. My sugar syrup also is a little less thick.
-
When you make balls add water little by little and the dough should be kneaded to a soft ball and will not stick to your hands. apply a little oil to the hands when kneading the dough.
