Gulab Jamun {recipe no 3} using secret ingredient | Kukskitchen

Yes, these are perfect, with a soft centre, perfect shape and delicious taste.Now, you will want to know what is that secret ingredient that made me, the jamun killer, make perfect jamuns. It is egg, I know, egg... who would have thought.

A good few months ago when I was toiling with my ingredients to make the perfect jamuns, my foundation doctor at the time was a sweet young girl, S. She gave me this tip, seeing  my misery. Thanks a ton darling.

When you have the perfect recipe, jamuns are the easiest Indian sweets to make and they are soo damn delicious too.

A few things before we start:

• Use a few drops of milk if the dough is very hard.
• Use oil if dough sticks to your fingers.
• Fry them on low flame to avoid a hard centre. I cannot stress this point enough.
• Wait for a nice brown color. Turn them gently but frequently.
• Make sure syrup is just warm and not boiling hot.
• Best served cold after a day in fridge.

Ingredients:

1 - Milk Powder - 1 cup
     Plain flour - 2 tbsp
     Semolina -1 tsp

2 - Water - 2 cups
     Sugar - 2 cups

Method:

• In a bowl mix (1) and make about 15-20 small balls out of the dough. I got 18.
• .Heat oil in a pan and fry them carefully till golden brown.
• In another pan boil water and sugar until sugar dissolves; this is the sugar syrup. Turn off the flame and add cardamom powder. Let it cool down slightly. 
• Pour the fried balls of gulab jamun in the syrup and keep it covered for 35-40 minutes so the balls get soaked in the sugar syrup.
• To serve, garnish with almonds and/or pistachio.
