Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 1 cup dry milk powder
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter), melted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1 tablespoon chopped almonds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped pistachio nuts (optional)
- 1 tablespoon golden raisins (optional)
- 1 pinch ground cardamom
- 1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying
-
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 7 fluid ounces water
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 1 pinch ground cardamom
Preparing/Cooking:
- In a large bowl, stir together the milk powder, flour, baking powder, and cardamom.
- Stir in the almonds, pistachios and golden raisins.
- Mix in the melted ghee, then pour in the milk, and continue to mix until well blended.
- Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
- In a large skillet, stir together the sugar, water, rose water and a pinch of cardamom.
- Bring to a boil, and simmer for just a minute.
- Set aside.
- Fill a large heavy skillet halfway with oil.
- Heat over medium heat for at least 5 minutes.
- Knead the dough, and form into about 20 small balls.
- Reduce the heat of the oil to low, and fry the balls in one or two batches.
- After about 5 minutes, they will start to float, and expand to twice their original size, but the color will not change much.
- After the jamun float, increase the heat to medium, and turn them frequently until light golden.
- Remove from the oil to paper towels using a slotted spoon, and allow to cool.
- Drain on paper towels and allow to cool slightly.
- Place the balls into the skillet with the syrup.
- Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, squeezing them gently to soak up the syrup.
- Serve immediately, or chill.
