A VERY HAPPY GUDI PADWA TO ALL MY DEAR BLOGGER FRIENDS...!!!HAVE A WONDERFUL AND JOYFUL NEW YEAR...!!!
Those who do not know about this festival can read more about it here.
Now coming to todays post , as its the occassion of our new year and its always said that sweets are a must for festivals, so i am posting a very famous sweet recipe.I had posted rasgullas earlier so how can i miss gulab jamuns which are very popular among our indian sweets...This are instant gulab jamuns.There are different ways of preparing them...i make gulab jamuns by two methods one is this and other one is using milk to make khoya and then using it to make gulab jamuns...making them by khoya method is very time consuming...i prefer this method as using this soft and tasty gulab jamuns get ready in few mins, hardly thay take half and hour to get ready...its the quickest one...and this gulab jamuns always turn out very soft and tasty...never a failure.Its fun to have fresh and hot home made gulab jamuns rather then store brought.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup milk powder
- 1 cup all purpose flour(maida)
- 1/2 tea spoon soda biacarbonate
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 5 tea spoons ghee + ghee to fry
- 1 tea spoon cardomom powder
- 2 tea spoons lemon juice
- few drops of rose essence/rose water
METHOD:
Take a bowl and add milk powder, all purpose flour, cardomom powder, soda and mix it well.
Then add 5 tea spoon of ghee and mix it for 2-3 mins well so that the mixture becomes like breadcrumbs.All the flour must get coated well with ghee.
Now add milk in it and kned it into soft dough.Make small round balls of this dough.Try to make them firm and make the surface as smooth as possible.There should be no cracks on the surface or else they tend to break later.
Take a vessel and add 1 n 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cup water and make a sugar syrup.When sugar syrup is ready add lemon juice.This is added as the sugar syrup becomes transparent and sugar does not crystallise after cooling at all.
Simultaneously heat a kadai and add ghee in it.When ghee becomes hot deep fry this balls
on low flame till this jamuns become golden brown.
Now drain this jamuns on paper.Add rose essence in sugar syrup.Tranfer this fried jamuns in sugar syrup.When fried jamuns are added in the sugar syrup thay must float on it, that means they are properly cooked.If they settle at the bottom then they are not cooked properly.There should be enough space in the syrup for jamuns to puff up as they almost double in size after some time when they absorb sugar syrup.
This jamuns will absorb sugar syrup and puff up soon almost in 15-20 mins.Then this are ready to serve.
Preparation Time: 30 mins
