Happy Diwali to all of you!!
Ghee or oil: for frying in addition to greasing hand.
I wanted to brand something my kids liked. My miss loves gulab Jamun. This was also 1 of the outset desserts that I made growing up. Gulab Jamun is naught but dumplings inwards rose flavored saccharide syrup. There are several ways gulab Jamun is made: using milk solids ( mawa/Chenna), using paneer, using flour, using milk powder, using murphy or sugariness murphy too... I similar the 1 alongside the milk solids the best.
Today to arrive quick in addition to to role what is readily available, I direct maintain used milk pulverization in addition to pancake mix!! Yes, nearly households direct maintain both of these inwards their pantry. I direct maintain made this interesting past times adding to a greater extent than gulkand( a glue made from rose petals) in addition to a petty pinkish nutrient color into the batter. It is festive flavor after all!! My miss loved it!
I am certain you lot volition similar this slow recipe too.
Servings: 6-8 ( serving size: 1 per person)
Ingredients:
For the dumpling ( Jamun):
Pancake mix: 1 cup
Milk powder: 1 cup
Milk: two tbsp
Gulkand: two tbsp ( optional)
Pink nutrient color: 1-2 drops ( optional)
For the syrup:
Sugar: two cups
Water: 1 cup
Lemon juice: 1/2 tsp
Rose essence: few drops ( optional)
Cardamom : 1-2 pods, peeled in addition to seeds crushed.
Recipe:

Add water, lemon juice in addition to saccharide to a saucepan in addition to convey it to a boil. Continue boiling until it reaches 1-string consistency. This is checked past times taking a petty syrup inwards a spoon. Now impact the pad of your index finger to the syrup. Make a pinch alongside the thumb. While trying to dissever the pollex in addition to index finger, you lot should run into a string formed past times the saccharide syrup. Then the saccharide syrup is ready. Turn off the flame.

The dumpling( Jamun):
Add the pancake mix, milk powder, gulkand in addition to nutrient color to a bowl. Using few drops of milk at a time, brand a soft dough but plenty to curl into a ball. The dough shouldn't hold out every bit good soft or every bit good hard. Do non overknead. Pinch a teaspoon of the dough in addition to curl it betwixt grease palms into small-scale oval shaped ball. Do this alongside all the available dough.
Heat ghee/oil inwards a kadai/wok until only hot. Do non arrive really hot every bit the Jamun volition burn. If the crude is cold, it volition function really oily. Deep fry all the jamuns. The jamuns should puff upward a petty upon frying. Drain on newspaper towels. Immediately add together it to the hot syrup.
Let the Jamun sit down inwards the syrup for atleast an hour. They volition atleast double inwards size. If they don't in addition to therefore something was incorrect alongside your batter.
Can hold out served mutual frigidity or at room temperature.

Enjoy! I am bringing this to Angie's Fiesta Fri #194. Her cohosts this calendar week are Petra @ Food Eat Love and Vanitha @ Curry in addition to Vanilla.
Cooking made easy:
Upon frying if the Jamun is every bit good hard, only steam it for a few minutes in addition to add together it to the hot syrup.
Tip for salubrious living:
Deep frying inwards ghee/clarified butter is a healthier pick than inwards crude every bit the ghee takes longer to smoke or chemically disintegrate when compared to the oil.
