Soft and sugary, gulab jamun is a delight to have.

The original, traditional recipe takes some time, so I make these bread gulab jamuns, that are so easy to make, that I make them whenever I feel like having them.

Steps

30-40 mins

1

Put the bread slices in a blender and make a powder of it, like with bread crumbs.
2

Combine powdered bread, cream, milk, flour and cardamom powder in a bowl. Mix and knead a dough.
3

Let the dough rest for 5-10 mins, and in the meantime, prepare the sugar syrup. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and let it simmer for 6-7 mins. Keep it aside.
4

While the syrup is cooking, apply some oil on your palm, take a tablespoon of the dough and roll the gulab jamun ball. You can add some crushed dried fruits in the center, too. Repeat for the entire dough.
5

Deep fry them in medium hot oil for 3-5 mins, till it turns golden brown. Drain on a tissue paper/kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
6

Dunk the gulab jamun balls in the sugar syrup and let them soak for 15-20 mins.
7

Garnish with chopped dried fruits and serve.

Best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 😋
