Ingredients:
Gulab Jammun instant mix - 100gms
Sugar - 500gms
Water - 1Litr
cardamom / saffron powder - required amount
Oil - required amount
Ghee or Butter - required amount.
Preparing method:
To 1 cup of instant mix add 1/4 cup of water and knead gently to make a smooth dough. Keep the dough aside .
Make the sugar syrup by boiling equal parts of sugar and water for about 5 minutes.
Add cardamom / saffron powder to the syrup to the required amount.
Apply oil / ghee/ butter to both your palms while shaping the dough in small but equal sized balls. Making it in equal size helps while frying.
Heat the oil over a low flame for deep frying. To check whether the oil is ready for fry just drop a small piece of dough into oil. If it pops up then oil is ready. Deep fry the small balls (dough) until they turn golden brown.
Soak the fried Gulab jammun in the hot sugar syrup until they completely absorb the syrup.
