Gulab jamun



Gulab jamun, I made this with the store bought gulab jamun packet.
I wish to make  everything from scratch. I will try and post it later.
I bought Gits gulab jamun packet and it comes out very good.

Ingredients :
Gits gulab jamun packet - 1 ( packet that makes 20)
Sugar -  2 cup
Water-  1 and  3/4 cup
Cardamom - 3 crushed
Kesar - few strands
Almonds or pistachios for decoration - optional
Milk to make dough
Ghee - little
Oil for frying

Method:
1. Empty the Gits gulab Jamun packet in a bowl and add little milk and mix it.
    Use very little milk and add if needed. In case if you have added little more milk and it is looks watery, mix and make dough and let it rest for sometime. It will thicken to some extent.
2.  Make soft dough. Apply ghee in you hand and start making small balls. This ball will become big in size at the ends. So have that in mind when you are making balls.
3. Add water and sugar and mix well. Add also kesar and cardamom and let it boil.
4. Once it is boiling , low the flame.
5. In a pan add oil for deep frying the gulab jamun. Let it be in medium heat so that you don't over cook it.
6. Fry the balls until they are brown. Keep rolling it so that it cooks evenly and the color is even in all sides. Take the jamun and put in the hot sugar syrup. Add nuts to decorate it.

Tasty gulab jamun is ready. It tastes best when it is served hot.
It can refrigerated for few days.
Enjoy cooking and tasting.
