A Modern Twist on Traditional Gulab Jamun
This is a traditional gulab jamun recipe that I’ve tweaked a bit and has been passed down through generations! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Ingredients
– Powdered Milk: 250g
– Potatoes: 450g
– Butter: 4 tablespoons
– Egg: 1
– Cornstarch and Semolina: 200g
– Baking Powder: 11g
– Sugar: 400g
– Water: 400g
– Cardamom Pods: 5
– Saffron: 1 teaspoon
Preparation
Total Time: 12 minutes
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Steps
1. **Mix Dry Ingredients**
Begin by sifting the powdered milk, baking powder, and cornstarch together, then add the semolina. Next, incorporate the previously mashed potatoes, butter, and egg. Knead the mixture until it forms a uniform dough.
2. **Shape the Gulab Jamun**
Form small balls weighing about 25g each, and fry them over medium heat until they turn a deep brown color.
3. **Prepare the Syrup**
In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, saffron, and cardamom pods. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it thicken to the right consistency. Dunk the hot gulab jamun into the syrup. Allow them to soak for at least 2 hours so the syrup fully penetrates.
Serve and decorate as desired!
