How to make
Step 1
To make this simple Gulab jamun recipe you need to take a vessel and add sugar, water, and a slice of lemon. Mix the sugar syrup well and reduce the consistency to two-string. Then turn off the flame and let it attain a normal room temperature.
Step 2
Take a wide tray and add equal proportions of chenna and khoya, mash them together using a masher. To accentuate the taste add some saffron strands. Make sure that there are no lumps in the mixture. To add some crunch to this traditional gulab jamun recipe add finely grated cashews and pistachio and mix it well. Once the mixture is smooth enough, move on to the next step.
Step 3
Take another tray, add maida, cardamom powder, corn flour and baking powder, mix it well. To make the gulab jamun more delicious add some ghee to the mix. This will leave a nice aroma and give it an authentic taste.
Step 4
Rub some ghee in your palms and roll round bite-sized balls. In the meantime take a kadhai and heat ghee or oil over medium flame, once the oil is hot enough slowly slide the balls and let them cook. Wait till the balls turn golden in colour.
Step 5
Take out the balls and remove the excess oil, then gently leave the gulab jamun balls in the sugar syrup. Let the gulab jamuns absorb the syrup. After half hour, extract them and place them on a bowl and gently pour some sugar syrup.
Step 6
Last but not the least, garnish the gulab jamuns with some finely chopped pistachios. Serve these gulab jamuns after an elaborate and we are sure your guests will praise your culinary skills.
