Ingredients for Gulab Jamun:


  • ½ cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (100 grams) powdered milk
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or butter (as preferred)
  • ¼ cup liquid milk (for kneading the dough)

Ingredients for the Syrup:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon rose water
  • 4 cardamom pods

Preparation Steps:

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the powdered milk, flour, and baking powder, stirring them together until well mixed.

  2. Add Ghee or Butter: Add the ghee or butter and mix it with the flour, rubbing the ingredients together until the mixture becomes slightly moist.

  3. Knead the Dough: Gradually add the liquid milk to knead the dough until it comes together. Cover the dough and let it rest for a short while.

  4. Prepare the Syrup: In a pot, combine the sugar and water, bringing the mixture to a boil while stirring continuously. Add the cardamom pods and lemon juice. Once boiled, turn off the heat, add rose water, and set aside.

  5. Shape the Dough: After the dough has rested, form it into small, medium-sized round balls.

  6. Let the Balls Rest: Place the balls on a plate, cover them, and let them rest for another 10 minutes.

  7. Fry the Balls: Heat oil in a pot to 150°C (302°F) and carefully fry the balls on low heat until they are cooked through, golden, and have doubled in size.

  8. Soak in Syrup: Once the fried balls have cooled slightly, submerge them in the warm syrup, allowing them to soak up the sweet liquid for a few minutes.

  9. Serve: Transfer the Gulab Jamun to a serving plate, draining off any excess syrup. Garnish with pistachios or your preferred topping.
