Gulab jamun- An classic Indian dessert made with milk powder dumplings soaked in sugar syrup.

Gulab Jamun is a traditional and most popular Indian dessert.It is mostly made during festival and celebrations.
Traditionally it is made with paneer and khoya ,but this is a simplified version of making gulab jamun with the ingredients easily available at home.
I always make Gulab jamuns this way and they always turn out soft and delicious. I use milk powder ,Refined flour/ maida, sooji ,little ghee and soda to make the dough. The dough should be soft and kneaded well . If the dough is kneaded properly then only you will get soft and smooth gulab jamuns.
The sugar syrup should be slight sticky but not too thick else the gulab jamuns will not absorb the syrup. If the gulab jamuns will absorb the syrup properly then only they become soft and spongy. Add some cardamom powder and few strands of saffron in the syrup to add flavour.
After frying the gulab jamuns on medium to low heat till they turn nice and brown ,remove from the pan and let them cool down for 5 minutes and then only add in the hot sugar syrup.
Add the fried jamuns in the syrup ,cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes. after that switch off the heat and let the jamuns rest in the syrup for minimum 4-5 hours for best results.
These Gulab  jamuns stay well at room temperature for 3-4 days then you can put in the refrigerator.
