Gulab Jamun for Indian cooking October Challenge
Sunday, November 15, 2009
We are so used to the ready made Gulab Jamun mix,the thought about making this from scratch never occurred to me.Thanks Srivalli for this one...this was indeed a wonderful challenge and i enjoyed making them.I made them twice,played a li'l with the shapes.A must try sweet!!!!
Gulab(less) Jamun from The Yum Blog
Makes: around 25 jamuns
Ingredients
Khova – 11/2 cups/ 1 recipe
Maida – 1 cup
Sugar – 3 cups (if you want excess syrup i.e floating jamuns increase by a cup)
Water – 1 cup (increase if you’re increasing sugar)
Cooking Soda – 3 pinches
Cardamom – 4 pods
Saffron leaves – a few
Oil – 1 cup (for deep frying)
Method
1. Combine sugar and water in a flat bottomed broad pan and simmer on a low heat until sugar dissolves. Add cardamom powder and saffron leaves and remove from fire.
2. Knead khova, maida and soda and quickly shape into balls.
3. Heat oil on a medium flame. Fry the jamuns till golden brown over a low to medium flame, keeping oil temperature uniform. Oil should not smoke.
4. Drain the jamuns and soak in the warm sugar syrup.
Serve the jamuns after half an hour.
Verdict: They are delicious,very soft and easy to make.
