Method:
Firstly, we prepare the sugar syrup by taking 1 1/2 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup water, cardamom powder and saffron.
Mix well and boil for 5 minutes or until the sugar syrup turns sticky. Do not attain any string consistency.
Turn off the flame and add lemon juice . Lemon juice is added to prevent sugar syrup from crystallizing.
Cover and keep the sugar syrup aside.
In another pan take ghee, milk and milk powder and mix well.
Heat this mixture and make a dough.
Remove the pan from heat and add 2 tablespoon all purpose flour.
Combine well and make a smooth dough.
Divide the dough in equal parts and prepare small ball.
Make sure there are no cracks in the balls. If there are cracks then there are high chances for Gulab Jamuns to break while frying.
Deep fry in medium hot oil or ghee. Frying in ghee gives good flavour to jamuns.
Stir continuously and fry on low flame.
Fry until the jamun turn golden brown.
Drain off and transfer the jamun into a hot sugar syrup.
Cover and rest for 2 hours or until jamuns absorb the sugar syrup and doubles in size.
Finally, enjoy Gulab Jamun.
