INDIAN SWEETS - GULAB JAMUN

Hi all......since I am in my mom's place enjoying a nice long vacation I thought it would be fun to add an blog of a Indian Sweet Dish. This dish is called Gulab Jamun.

For this I used a Gulab Jamun Mix which is easily found in most of the Indian shops in Brickfeilds, K.L for example in Modern Stores or Seetaram.

This is the picture of the Brand I used. BAMBIND Instant Gubal Jamun Mix.

First measure the quantity of flour in the packet. I got two stainless tumblers full. So for every cup of flour you need to add 1/4 cup of water.

Two tumblers of flour..........


1/2 cup water for 2 tumblers of flour........

Slowly add the water little at a time and combine with clean fingers. The dough should start to come together. Dont mix too much or else you will get hard gulab jamuns.

Roll the dough into small balls. For one packet I got around 40 balls.



SUGAR SYRUP: Next in a large Pan take 700gms of sugar and 700ml of water and heat it till it boils. The packet askes to use 800gms of sugar for 800ml of water. My mom felt 800gms was too sweet and too much of the syrup.

Now deep fry the balls till golden brown. After frying put the balls into the hot sugar syrup. If the sugar syrup is not hot the balls will not soak well.


This is how it will look like .........
Yummy looking ..............

Serve in a glass bowl with little of the sugar syrup..........
