GULAB JAMOON !!!!!!!

I made these jamoons using MTR ready gulab jamoon mix. I gave different shapes to gulab jamoons, cylindrical & round. Both tasted similar, soft & yummy.  When ever i here the word jamoons my mouth starts watering. I am a sweet tooth person & jamoon is one of my favourite. I think is one of the quick & easiest dessert to make. Here, i added milk instead of water & little butter too while kneading dough. & i always use less quantity of sugar for jamoons than mentioned in the packet. & my sugar:water ratio is 3:4 . 

INGREDIENTS:-

milk - as needed
MTR gulab jamoon mix - 1 pkt (200 gms)
butter - small lemon size
oil/ghee - for deep frying
sugar - 3cups
saffron strands - few for garnishing
cashew pieces - few for garnishing

METHOD:-

1. Add 1/4 measure of milk gradually to 1 measure of gulab jamoon mix + butter also & knead gently into smooth dough.
2. Keep aside for 5 mins.
3. Apply ghee or oil on both palms, then shape the dough into balls.
4. Deep fry in oil/ghee over a low flame until golden brown.
5. Soak the fried gulab jamoons into hot sugar syrup (20 mins) until they completely absorb the syrup.
6. Garnish it with saffron strands & cashew pieces &  serve.

HOW TO MAKE SUGAR SYRUP:-

Add 3 cups of sugar to the 4 cups of water & boil for 5-6 mins. For extra flavour, you can add 1/4 tsp cardamom pow & 1/2 tsp vanilla /rose essence to the syrup.

HAPPY COOKING :))))))
