Gulab Jamun
Gulab jamun is a milk-solids based Indian dessert and very popular during festivals, special occasions like weddings or birthday parties. These milk solids known as khoya or mawa are kneaded into a dough with little all purpose flour and then shaped into small balls. They are then deep-fried and then soaked in a sugary syrup flavored with green cardamom and rose essense or saffron. It gets its name from Gulab and Jaman which means rose for the rose flavored syrup and Jamun which is the deep fried light or dark brown dumplings. Gulab jamun is best served warm or cold or at room temperature or topped with ice-cream.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Crumble the khoya thoroughly or mash it well by hand. Ensure there are no lumps or pieces in the khoya. Take a mixing bowl and add the crumbled khoya. To this add maida and cooking soda and mix well.
- 2
Add very little water or just sprinkle water to form a smooth and soft dough. No need to knead the dough. Just gather them together to form a dough. Cover the dough aside for 15-20 minutes. Roll out gently to make smooth balls out of the dough.
- 3
Heat a heavy bottomed pan on a low flame. Add sugar, saffron strings and water and heat the sugar solution till the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not make it too sticky. Add cardamom powder and mix well. Switch off the flame once the sugar is dissolved fully. Ensure that it does not reach the one string consistency.
- 4
Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. When it is medium hot, lower the flame and gently slide the balls into the oil. Roll the jamuns with a ladle for even cooking and colouring. Add 3-4 jamuns at a time so that it is evenly cooked.

NOTES/TIPS:
- Dont knead the dough. Just gently mix and form the balls. If the mixture is dry, add few drops of milk or water and then form balls.
- Ensure there are no lumps or small bits in the khoya. You can also grate the khoya.
- Ensure there are no cracks in the balls. Otherwise it might break while frying.
- While deep frying, oil should be low hot to ensure even cooking and coloring. Or else it gets browned fast.
- The sugar syrup should be warm before you add the fried jamuns to the sugar solution. The syrup should be prepared earlier and kept warm.
- If the oil is too hot, then the gulab jamuns tend to break. Adjust the flame to ensure that the gulab jamuns do not break or cook too quickly.
- You can make small balls as they tend to increase in size once it is soaked in sugar syrup.
