Quantity:

• 1 cup Milk Powder
• 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 tsp Baking Powder

• 1/4 cup Milk (approx)
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 4-5 Cardamom Pods
• 1 tsp Rose Water
• A few Saffron Strands

Tips:

• Ensure the oil is not too hot when frying Gulab Jamuns to avoid burning.
• Knead the dough gently, do not over-knead, or else Gulab Jamuns may become hard.
• Soak the fried Gulab Jamuns in warm sugar syrup for at least 1 hour for best results.
• Garnish with chopped pistachios for added flavor and presentation.

Recipe:

1. In a bowl, mix milk powder, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.
2. Add ghee or unsalted butter and mix well until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Gradually add milk and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
4. In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, cardamom pods, rose water, and saffron. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-7 minutes to make sugar syrup.
5. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into smooth balls without any cracks.
6. Heat oil or ghee in a pan on low-medium heat. Fry the Gulab Jamuns until golden brown.
7. Drain and immediately soak them in warm sugar syrup for at least 1 hour.
8. Garnish with chopped pistachios and serve warm or at room temperature.
