🌟 Gulab Jamun Recipe 🌟

Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk powder 🥛
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
• 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter) 🧈
• 1/4 cup milk 🥛
• 1/2 tsp baking soda 🧪
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder (Elaichi) 🌿
• Oil for deep frying 🌻

For the Syrup:

• 1 cup sugar 🍬
• 1 cup water 💧
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder (Elaichi) 🌿
• A few saffron strands (optional) 🌾

Instructions:

1 . Prepare the Syrup:

• In a pan, combine sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely. 🌡️
• Add cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using). Set aside to cool. 🍯

2 . Make the Dough:

• In a mixing bowl, combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, and baking soda. Mix well. 🥄
• Add melted ghee and milk gradually, kneading gently to form a smooth dough. It should be soft and slightly sticky. 👐

3 . Shape the Balls:

• Grease your hands with a little ghee. Take a small portion of dough and roll it between your palms to form smooth, round balls. Aim for a size that will expand during frying. 🌰

4 . Fry the Balls:

• Heat oil in a deep pan over low heat. Test with a small piece of dough; it should rise slowly. 🌡️
• Fry the balls in batches, gently stirring them to ensure even cooking. They should turn golden brown. 🟤

5 . Soak in Syrup:

• Remove the fried balls with a slotted spoon and immediately immerse them in the warm syrup. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. 🍯

6 . Serve:

• Gulab Jamun can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom powder or rose petals if desired. 🌹

Enjoy your delicious Gulab Jamun! 😋🍽️
