Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Carnation milk powder…you find it in the baking aisle…here is my families recipe for gulab jamun…make the sheera just like Proto said. For the jamuns: 1 1/2 cups carnation milk powder and 1 1/2 cups Bisquick! Sift the two together…slowly start adding a half pint of heavy whipping cream..mixing with your hands to form the dough…depending on the humidity that day you may or may not need the full carton. The dough should make a nice smooth ball when you form the jamuns…not too sticky and not too dry, with just a slight sheen too it.

This method makes the most amazingly soft and delicious gulab jamuns! If you’re in the US, try it!

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

^Khattichic, that is also our family recipe as well!!! We use bisquick too and they turn out really good every time. :wub:

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Oh wow thnx for the recipe khattichic... Can I use ant jemima pancake mix?
Hmmm I ve been trying to make gulab jamuns for long time n every time I fail...
Plz can give some tips on frying? Or some additional tips for Gus jamuns?

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Plus can I half the recipe? How many jamuns does the original recipe makes?

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Interesting.I might give it a try.This is the first recipe I came across which uses Bisquick.
A quick question....I have always only seen fat free Carnation powder.Will that work...?
Also can we use Splenda to make the sugar syrup instead of sugar?Will it work...?

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

I’ve never tried it with Aunt Jemima pancake mix, only Bisquick, as it already has the baking powder/shortening in the mix. :hmmm:

I don’t have an exact quantity for how many this makes, but to give you an idea, this amount is enough for two 13x9 Pyrex dishes (we have a big khandaan, so this amount works for us) if you want to cut the recipe in half, make sure the amounts of Bisquick and Carnation milk powder are equal!!! That is the key!! And don’t dump in all the whipping cream at once! Drizzle it in slowly and only use as much is needed to form the dough properly!

With frying, the key is to keep our oil temp even and consistent, and work on small batches so that you can keep them moving and browning properly.

I don’t know about Splenda, never tried it..and yes, it’s this Carnation Milk Powder

@wendydarling

Cinnamon buns are so hard to get right, I've had so many failed attempts, post pictures please!

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Thanks! My sister helped me decorate.

Sorry :frowning:

Here’s the recipe for the sugar cookies:

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies Recipe - Allrecipes.com

I ice it with royal icing - this recipe:

Royal Icing

I prefer meringue powder over eggwhites.

And for the gingerbread cookies, I use this recipe:

Gingerbread Men - Robin Hood

I use the same royal icing to decorate it, but use the stiffer version (less water).

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Sowe lil princess .. I somehow skipped this page... Neways I'lpost recipe soon

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

I also make gulab jamuns using pancake mix. I use the Aunt Jemima or any pancake mix that does not require an egg, use the one that says add water only. A goood friend of mine makes thes all the time, and she finally shared it with me.. it took me quite a few tries to get it right through trial and lots of error.
