Ingredients

  • Khoya
  • Maida
  • Baking powder
  • Cardamom
  • Water
  • Ghee
  • Saffron
  • Rose water

Instructions

  • Take khoya, all purpose flour, cardamom and baking powder in a bowl. Mix well. In short, adjust the water and flour amount as needed depending. Now divide into equal portions and make smooth balls. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to avoid drying. Take sugar, cardamom, saffron and water in a wide & deep saucepan. Turn the heat on medium. Once the syrup starts boiling, let it simmer for 4-5 minutes only. Turn off the stove and add rose water. Heat the oil in a pan on MEDIUM-LOW heat for frying. Add one ball first and see. If it breaks while frying, add a little more flour in the dough and make balls again. Fry a few balls into the oil. Once it starts to have tiny golden spots on them, keep turning and moving around for even frying. Fry till they are golden brown in color. During the frying process adjust the gas heat to keep the oil temperature consistent and make sure it does not get too hot otherwise you will have a raw lump in the center of the ball. Once fried remove them in the plate and fry rest. One batch will take around 7-8 minutes. Once fried all of them let it cool for 5 minutes only. Now the sugar syrup may get cold. So just warm it up. And then add gulab jamun in the syrup. Let it sit for 3-4 hours, during this time they will soak up some syrup and will get slightly bigger in size.
