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.

Gulab Jamun
Serves 9
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients:
1 - Milk Powder - 1 cup
Plain flour - 2 tbsp
Semolina -1 tsp
Egg - 1
Baking powder - 1 level tsp.
2 - Water - 2 cups
Sugar - 2 cups
Green cardamom powder -1/4 tsp.
3 - Crushed Almonds / pistachio - to garnish
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.
