Gulab jamun recipe

Many of us have this as our favourie. we find these in shops and we feel it as a highly tempting and mouth watering one.

so lets see how to prepare jamuns at home. Jamuns are very easy to make dish compared to any other sweet.

Preparation time:30mins
cooking time: 15mins

Things needed:

• 1 cup khoa (see my post to know how to make khoa)
• 2tablespoon maida (all purpose flour)
• 2tbs sooji
• 2tbs milk
• pinch of baking soda
• Oil as required for frying
• 250gms sugar
• cup of water

Now lets get into the preparation part.

Method:

Step1:

Take khoya in a bowl and mix it well as they become lumps free. khoya are usualy soft and they mix very well easily so mash it well first.

Step 2:

Now add maida, sooji, baking powder and milk and mix it well with khoya. Just softly blend it . Do not hard press the batter like you knead a chapathi flour. Mixing smoothly makes the jamun come out soft.

Step 3:

Now cover the mix and allow the batter to set aside for minimum 30 mins before rolling into balls.

Step 4:

Now lets prepare the sugar syrup. Take a bowl and add one cup of water and let it boil.

Step 5:

once the water started to boil add of sugar into it. Let the sugar completely dissolve and do stir it continuously till it dissolves .

now allow the sugar water to boil well atleast 10 mins.

Note: The sugar syrup need not become much thick like you prepare for other sweets like adhirasam . A runny consistency is required here for jamuns. so dont boil too much like paagu padham.

once the syrup is ready keep it aside.

Step 6:

Now take the jamun mix and make it into small balls. If the mix is too dry add milk as per required to make balls.

Note: when making balls dont press too much and make sure you roll it well so no cracks are seen over. else when frying jamuns may break out.

Step 7:

In  a kadai add oil and start frying the jamuns until they are evenly brown.

Take the fried jamuns in a plate and once they come to room temperature or less hotter then add these to the sugar syrup.

So now our gulab jamuns are ready to taste….
