Re: Meetha oil… what to cook in it??
yeah could do that too but i m in experimentation mood… wanna make sweets and all cus hubs really liekd the gulab jamuns!! i used sunflower oil sara but i think oil kind dusnt matter as ive not seen any chef specifying which oil to use. i wudnt mind sharin my recipe but i think i made a few mistakes.. they were pretty gud and ppl said they looked and tasted like i bought them from outside but i am not satisfied.. ill change my recipe next time i make them. but here is exactly how i made it:
3 cups nido milk
5 tbs all purpose flour
2 eggs
1 tsp bakin pwder
i tink i shudnt have used so mch nido cus i cud taste too mch nido in the jamun. i saw another recipe and they had used 2 cups milk nido and one cup flour… so flour shud b atleast 1 cup less than milk and i only put 5tbs. another mistake i think i put only 2 eggs… i shudve put 3 large eggs instead of only 2 large ones.
for syrup i also made mistake i used only 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water… i shudve used 3 cups water as it thickens anyway. i put cardamon pwdr, rose water kewra essense. and i made another mistake. i made the sheera and then made balls and fried them. BIG MISTAKE!!! cheeni sari jam ke white hogaye it was baddddddd then i had to put water again and boil it again… make sure its not chachsni kind (as in chipkay na ungli pay) i tried chipaknay wala sheera and it was not working … water was thickening and i needed alot of wter so the jamuns can swim in them. so i guess make it thick but not vv thick u know. and put it on low flame so that when ur jamuns are fried u immediately put them in sheera. trust me it was crazy cus i had to make the dough two times cus it was soooooo crumbly. pls make sure you put no water.. lil bit milk(normal one) is ok but no water. and pls make sure if ur eggs are small u put atleast 4 eggs.. anyways the end result was awsum despite all the crazyyyyyyyyyyyy mistakes i made. i realised one more thing. if u think they turned out a bit crumbly or nido tasting put them in microwave for 5 mins.. they will become sooooooooo soft yar.. it was so yummy the next day i cant tell u. also pls make sure the balls are normal size cus they grow in size.. dun make them v big. i made round ones.
