Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
In a deep pan, add sugar and water. Allow to dissolve and boil until the sugar melts. Takes 5-7 minutes.
Add crushed cardamom and saffron strands. Mix well and allow to boil for 1 more minute. Check for Greasy texture.
Turn off the flame and cover the sugar syrup with a lid. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the instant jamun mix and gradually add milk. Knead the dough gently, just to combine, and rest for 10 minutes covered with a lid.
After 10 minutes, knead the dough again gently until smooth and soft.
Apply ghee to your hands and gently take a small amount of dough. Roll into crack-free balls. Repeat for all jamuns.
Heat oil in a deep kadai over low flame. Once hot, gently slide the jamuns into the oil and stir occasionally. Fry until golden brown.
Transfer the fried jamuns into the warm sugar syrup. Gently stir, cover with a lid, and let them rest for 1 to 2 hours.
Serve the gulab jamuns in a bowl, optionally with vanilla ice cream on top.
Use a measuring spoon to ensure all jamuns are the same size.
Make the jamuns smaller in size as they will expand when soaked in sugar syrup.
How do I make Gulab Jamun using Gits premix?
To make Gulab Jamun with Gits premix, start by preparing the sugar syrup by boiling sugar and water with crushed cardamom and saffron. Then, mix the Gits instant jamun mix with milk to form a dough, knead it gently, and let it rest. Shape the dough into small balls, fry them in oil until golden brown, and soak them in the warm sugar syrup for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
Can I make Gulab Jamun with Gits premix dairy-free?
Yes, you can make Gulab Jamun dairy-free by substituting the milk with a non-dairy alternative such as almond milk or coconut milk. Just ensure that the consistency is similar to regular milk for the dough to hold together properly.
What is the best way to store leftover Gulab Jamun?
To store leftover Gulab Jamun, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to a week. When ready to serve, you can warm them slightly in the microwave or enjoy them cold.
What can I pair with Gulab Jamun for a dessert platter?
Gulab Jamun pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream, which adds a creamy contrast to the sweet, syrupy dessert. You can also serve it with other Indian sweets like Jalebi or Rasgulla for a delightful dessert platter.
How can I tell when the Gulab Jamun is perfectly fried?
The Gulab Jamun is perfectly fried when it turns a golden brown color. Fry them on low flame and stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. If they are dark brown, they may be overcooked, while pale ones may not be cooked through.
