Posted: 15 years ago

Let me say goodbye with a sweet dish.

GULUB JAMUNS

Ingredients:

For syrup:
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of water
2 cardamom pods crushed
Little saffron    optional
Little rose essence

The Jamun:
2 cups of powder milk
cup all purpose flour
tsp baking powder
1 cups of heavy cream.
1 tbs melted ghee

Method:
Boil the sugar with the water. Add the crushed cardamom.
When all the sugar is dissolved and boiling, remove.
Add the saffron and the essence. Keep aside.

Combine the milk powder, all purpose flour, baking powder,
And the melted ghee in a bowl.
Add enough heavy cream and knead it to make a soft dough.
Now take a portion and gently roll between your palms to make
Smooth balls.
Heat oil in a pan, ( you can use ghee also) until it is hot.
Lower the heat to medium and   deep fry few balls at a time.
The jamuns will slowly rise to the top if it is fried in the right temperature. When they are browned on all sides, remove
And put it   immediately in the warm syrup.
Let it soak in the syrup for about 30 minutes.
Serve it warm or cold.

Note:  I made them quite big, you can make them smaller.
