For gulab jamun
- 1 cup milk powder
- 1 tbsp fine semolina
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp clarified butter
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- Milk as needed
For the syrup (sherbet)
- 240ml water
- 200g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- ¼ tsp green cardamom powder
Instructions
- To make a syrup: Pour water in a saucepan, add sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat stirring until sugar dissolves add the cardamom and lemon juice and mix, don't forget that the longer you boil the syrup, the thicker it will be, so don't overcook it otherwise the gulab jamun would not soak the syrup.
- To make gulab jamun's dough: In a mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients add the butter and use your hands to mix and rub everything together.
- Gradually add milk to form a soft sticky dough, let it rest for at least 5 mins.
- Rub some oil onto your hands to make it easier to handle the dough, divide it into equal small balls and roll between your palms until smooth.
- Deep fry the balls until browned, drain and immerse them immediately into the hot prepared syrup.
- Let the gulab jamun soak in the flavoured syrup for at least 1 hour or until double in size.
