Gulab Jamun-Indian Sweet

Gulab Jamun-Indian Sweet


It is really interesting to try different type of sweets,
I know everyone loves Gulab Jamun,

As I mentioned in my previous articles, I hate when the cooking procedure gets too tough, believe me, this recipe is so simple and gives perfect Gulab Jamun. 


Here in Dubai, I can find ready made Gulab Jamun in everywhere but those are high in sugar. So I thought of making low sugar Gulab Jamun. Anyway, you can adjust it according to your taste.



Volumized balls
Basically, you can find the essential ingredients from your home to make these Gulab Jamun. You will need;

Milk powder 1 cup

Plain flour     1tbsp
Veg.Oil/Ghee2tsp  ( I used ghee)
White Sugar  1cup (I used 1cup if you want you can add more sugar into this recipe)
Water             2cups ( Sugar: Water=1:2) 
Salt                1/4tsp
Baking soda  1/4tsp
Boiled milk   2-3tbsp
Cardamom    2-3 pods 
Oil to deep fry 

I made 10 Gulab Jamuns from this recipe. 


Step 1- Get a pan add water, sugar, and cardamom brings it to boil and simmer for few min in low flame. This is your Sugar Syrup. 

Step 2-  Get a bowl, add milk powder, plain flour, salt, baking soda and ghee/veg.oil. Mix well.


Step 3- Make a dough by adding boiled milk into the mixture

The dough should not be watery. so add milk carefully.

Step 4- Make small balls out of the dough. 

During the deep fry, these balls tend to be volumized. therefore, make small portions. 

Step 5- Now you are ready to deep fry these balls. Oil should not be too hot! 

In order to test it, Just drop a small piece of dough into the hot oil. The piece should stay at the bottom of the oil pan for a while before it floats. Once you make sure the right temperature, add the dough balls into it and keep stirring it to avoid burning. 


Once it absorb in sugar syrup, outer get soft without lumps
Step 6- Meantime, make sure your sugar syrup is boiling. Once you notice your Gulab Jamuns are fried properly, drain the excess oil and directly into the boiling sugar syrup. Keep boiling it in low flame for 3min. Keep the lid Closed.

If you want you can add some nuts to garnish it...!
