- Preparation of sugar syrup Mix together water, sugar and crushed cardamoms in a pot.
- Boil the syrup until it turns slightly sticky. Turn off the stove before it goes to a 1 string consistency. If it reaches a 1 string consistency, then add 2 tbsp of water and mix.
- Add rose water and mix. Set aside to keep it hot.
- Making jamun balls Fluff up the flour in the jar with a fork and then measure correctly. Mix together flour, milk powder and soda in a bowl. Either sieve it or mix uniformly.
- Add ghee to it. Mix well. In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice or yogurt and 2 tbsp milk.
- Pour 1.5 tbsp of this to the flour mixture. Begin to bring the flour together to make a dough.
- If the dough is too dry, add little more milk until you get a smooth dough. Do not add a lot. Use only as needed.
- The dough turns sticky. Grease your fingers and make a ball. The dough must not be soggy. It must hold the shape well and should be smooth without any cracks.
- Divide to 14 to 18 equal sized portions. Grease your hands and roll to smooth balls.
- They must be smooth without any cracks or lines otherwise you will find many cracks on the gulab jamuns. Keep them covered.
- How to make gulab jamun Heat up the pan with ghee or oil on a medium heat.
- Also check if the syrup is hot. If it is not hot, heat it up a bit. It must be hot and not very hot. To check the right temp, you can drop a small piece of dough in the oil.
- It must rise slowly without changing its color. If it rises rapidly then you will need to cool the oil a bit before frying. When the ghee is just medium hot, add the balls.
- Make sure the oil is not very hot else the gulab jamuns will brown without cooking well. Fry the balls on a medium flame for 1 to 2 mins. Then regulate the flame to low flame & fry until golden. Keep stirring gently to fry them uniformly.
- Add them to the hot syrup. Allow them to rest for 3 hours and serve. Garnish gulab jamun with chopped pistachios.
