Gulab jamun are a popular classic Indian sweet originally made of milk solids, sugar, water rose and cardamom powder.

These sticky-sweet deep-fried dough balls aren’t for those on a diet, but are an authentic Indian sweet.

This recipe requires 1-2 hours Preparation time, less than 10 mins Cooking time, and Serves 2.

 

Ingredients:

For the dough balls

  • 350ml/12fl oz #CommissionsEarned goat milk
  • 225g/8oz #CommissionsEarned powdered milk
  • 25g/1oz  butter, #CommissionsEarned  melted
  • 110g/4oz plain flour
  • 1¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • vegetable oil, for deep frying

For the sugar syrup

  • 200g/7oz caster sugar
  • 100ml/3½fl oz water
  • few strands saffron

To serve

  • 1 tbsp chopped pistachio nuts
  • 1 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted in a pan

 

Directions:

  • For the dough balls, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, adding enough extra water to form a soft, sticky dough. Cover with cling film and set aside for 10 minutes. Shape the dough into small round balls.
  • Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed frying pan. It is ready when a breadcrumb dropped in will sizzle gently in it. (*Caution: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.) Deep fry the balls until golden brown, then remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside on kitchen papper to drain.
  • Make a sugar syrup by heating the sugar and water together with the saffron until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is syrupy.
  • When the dough balls are cool, add to the syrup and leave to soak for about 1 hour.
  • Garnish with chopped pistachio nuts and flaked almonds and serve.
