Delima with gulab jammons

Walking_On_Water · September 26, 2005, 4:30pm

Ok all you gurus my gulab jamons turn out different each time I make them
( even I amaze myself )

Some times they turn hard, & sometimes they are not hard enough and look like “pichka hoa ball”

Anyone with a tarkeeb that gives constant results? Please?

WOW: here is my gulab jamun recipe. There could be several reasons why your jamuns are coming out differently each time. Try my recipe and let me know.

Ingredients

-2 1/2 Tbsp Flour
-Crushed almonds For garnishing
-1 cup Sugar
-Water As required
-5 Tbsp Ghee + for deep frying
-1 cup Dry milk powder
-1/8 tsp Baking soda
-1/2 tsp Cardamom powder

Place milk powder in amedium bowl. Add melted ghee to it and using your hands mix it well.
Add flour, baking soda, cardamom powder and mix again.
Now add 3 Tablespoons of very cold water and knead with hands until a smooth dough is formed.
Make small balls of this dough (about 3/4 inches in diameter) and leave for some time.
Take sugar in an other pan, add equal amount of water and boil for some time( prepare aik taar ka sheera).
Deep fry all prepared balls (gulab jaman) until they become brown.
Place them in sugar solution( sheera).
Dish out and garnish with crushed almonds. They are now ready to be serve.

You should try 'Baapu - Gulab Jamun Mix'. It really is good!

Oh and I think you should add reasonable amount of milk when making gulab jamans, else they won't turn out right. Too much or too little would both make'em bad.
