Gulab Jamun

Recipe View 20 mins In a spacious mixing bowl, meticulously combine the dry milk powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of fragrant ground cardamom. Introduce the finely chopped almonds, pistachios, and plump golden raisins. Gently incorporate the melted ghee, then gradually add the warm milk, blending until a cohesive dough forms. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rest for a rejuvenating 20 minutes.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then allow it to simmer for a fleeting minute, creating a luscious, aromatic syrup. Set the syrup aside, allowing its flavors to meld and deepen.

Recipe View 5 mins Fill a sizable, heavy-bottomed skillet halfway with vegetable oil. Warm the oil over medium heat for at least 5 minutes, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature for frying. Gently knead the rested dough, then meticulously shape it into approximately 20 petite spheres. Reduce the heat of the oil to low, and carefully introduce the dough balls in one or two batches. Allow them to luxuriate in the warm oil for approximately 5 minutes, during which they will gracefully float to the surface and expand to twice their original size, their color remaining subtly unchanged. Once the jamun have ascended, gently increase the heat to medium, and turn them frequently until they achieve a resplendent light golden hue. Employing a slotted spoon, delicately remove the golden spheres from the oil and transfer them to paper towels, allowing them to cool slightly and shed any excess oil.

Allow them to simmer over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes, gently encouraging them to absorb the syrup by delicately squeezing them. Serve immediately, allowing your guests to savor their warm, syrup-soaked goodness, or chill for a refreshing indulgence.
