Gulab jamun

This is such a delicious recipe and my favourite one.The name literally is gulab meaning rose and jamun- the only thing I can think of is a round fruit of the same name. (If anyone knows better let me know!).I ve made this in a traditional style using kova.We can also make this using instant mix which are available in all grocery stores.

Ingredients:

Whole dried milk (kova) -1 cup
Refined flour -2 tbsp
Sugar 1-1/2 cup

Cardamom powder- 2 teaspoon
Baking powder -1/4 tsp.
Water -3 cups
Oil as required


Method:

1. Mix sugar, water and cardamom powder and cook until the consistency becomes thick.

2. Mix kova, refined flour, baking powder and water and make soft, smooth dough (Water should be just sufficient for kneading a smooth dough).

3. Make small balls of equal size. Be sure that the balls are smooth and no crack develops. Keep aside.

4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan.

5. Deep fry the balls over medium heat until golden brown.

6. Put the balls in hot syrup and keep aside for 10-12 minutes.

7. Gulab Jamuns are ready.
