No Fail Gulabjamun or Laalmohon, in a very easy and quick way..

Ingredient:

Instant milk powder :3/4 cup +2 tbl spoon  or 10 tbl spoon

All purpose flour : 1/4 cup

Semolina/sooji : 1 tbl spoon ( soaked into water atleast 3/4 min before making and drained out water later)

Ghee : 1 and 1/2  tbl spoon

Condensed milk : 1 level tbl spoon

Baking powder : little more than 1/2 teaspoon

1 beaten egg

Pinch of elachi or cardamom powder..

• If you are not using condensed milk replace it wih 1 tbl spoon sugar and omit those extra 2 tbl spoon powder milk.

Sugar Syrap:

Make a sugar syrup with 4 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. Add 1 bayleaf, 2 cardamom pods and cinnamon stick while making the syrup. The syrup shouldn’t be thick .. If the syrup is thick the jamuns will not be soaked ..

Cooking Method:

1. Combine all the ingredients together into a soft sticky kindda dough. Keep it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.That will help you to shape the gulab jamuns.

2. Heat oil on low-medium flame. The Jamuns will be deep fried.

3. Apply some oil/ghee on your palm and make balls from the dough. Don’t sit the balls for too long , that would ruin the quality of jamun and at the same time careful that there is no crack on your jamuns, otherwise they might break apart in the oil.

4. Add the balls in batches in the oil and fry on low- medium heat for a longer period.The better is the frying the better will be the gulab jamun after soaking the syrap. It will take atleast 10/15 minutes to have the jamuns fried perfectly.And another thing, jamun expands a bit after adding them into oil. So always add few jamuns while frying..Fry them in batches.

5. Remove them from the oil and add them into the Warm sugar syrup immediately .If your jamuns are fried well , you will see they will soak almost all the syrap within 10/15 minutes. You may sprinkle some rose water in the syrap.The Syrup must not be too hot , that would ruin the color and texture of the jamuns . The syrup should be warm but not piping hot .

Your very easy, no fail Gulab jamun is ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cooking Tips:

1. When shaping the dough into jamuns, make sure that there are no cracks in them. If the jamuns have cracks, they could break apart while deep frying. So its important to grease your palms thoroughly and try to shape them without any crack.

2. Once the jamuns have been shaped, they need to be fried immediately. This is because keeping the jamuns for a long time before frying will cause them to crack.

3. The frying is very important in case of good, perfect gulab jamun. The temperature of the oil must be perfect. It should neither be too hot or mild hot. If it is too hot the jamuns will go a dark brown without cooking in the centre. And if it is little hot the jamuns will absorb a lot of oil and crack. So it should be heated on the same temperature from beginning to end. It should be on low medium heat and bubble should occur when you add the jamuns. But remember it should not be that hot that smoke can be seen..And remember fry them for a long , so that they are perfectly fried inside out. You may create wave in the oil with a spoon and fry them. That would help your jamun to have fried evenly, but careful not to prick any jamun with the spoon.

4.Don’t use too much baking powder while making the dough, it causes to break the sweets in the oil.

5. Put the jamun in batches to oil . Don’t try to fry all of them at once.

6. When frying in batches , after frying the first batch . Turn off the stove and let the heat reduce a bit . Otherwise the second batch of sweets may take color soon before they are expected leaving inside not well done . So this batch may seem a bit hard in the center .
