Classic Gulab Jamun

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, crumble the khoya and mix it with the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Knead the mixture into a smooth dough.

2. 2

   Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into smooth balls, ensuring there are no cracks.

3. 3

   In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, gently slide the dough balls into the oil.

4. 4

   Fry the balls until they turn golden brown, ensuring they are cooked evenly on all sides. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   In a separate pan, combine the sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a syrup. Add the cardamom powder and rose water to the syrup.

6. 6

   Once the syrup is ready, add the fried balls to the syrup and let them soak for at least 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve the Gulab Jamun warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional cardamom powder if desired.
