Gulab Jammun

Gulab Jammun is a very famous desert in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Its my all time favorite too. My mom used to make these all the time and me and my brother would fight over it .

The traditional way is really needs to add a lot of stuff in lot of measurement. The easier way is to use a mix like this one :
The instructions at the back of the pack is very easy but it mentions that we need to use equal amount of the mix and water but it really makes the mix watery. So take the whole pack and keep adding water little by little and knitting into a nice soft dough.

Once the dough is ready form small dumplings out of it. We would be soaking the Jammuns in sugar syrup so even though the size is smaller initially it well swell up. This pack would make approximately 40 - 50 jammuns.

Deep fry the jammuns till they are golden brown.

For the sugar syrup take equal amount of water and sugar and simmer it. Add 4 whole cardamon and few strands of saffron. let the mixture cook till you get desired consistency. The consistency depends on how soft or firm you want your jammuns to be.

If the syrup is very thing the jammuns would be very soft and might break. If it very think the jammuns would very hard, so you would be the best judge :)

Once the Jammuns are ready add syrup to it in a wide container so that the jammuns have enough space to swell.
Try this easy to do and yummy desert and have fun!
