I don’t exactly remember when I first tasted this dessert,but I’m sure I’d immediately liked it because since then whenever I got a chance I never missed this heavenly experience.My mother  knew that I have no control over sweets(I am just a sweet-tooth ok ?) and thus she made them rarely at home.I knew that there was no use of asking her for more and thus I made a trial.Well,consider it not only as my first attempt in making gulab-jamuns but also writing about something that i cooked;therefore accept it please..

So,the story of me making gulab-jamuns starts here -I spent this weekend being lazy and was so bored that I started going through all those  nik-naks in kitchen looking for something to stuff my mouth with.I hardly found anything sugary to eat and was totally disappointed. I always liked to eat,particularly sweet-food.(yum…just thinking about it makes my mouth water ) but thank God, this time I  not only had the mood to eat but also to try out something for myself.And no doubt,the first item that came to my mind was my all-time favorite sugary-jamuns,Oops..sorry GULAB-JAMUNS!!!

Now,what to say,my mom was extremely happy with the plan.”Thank God,atlast she decided to enter the kitchen”she might have thought .She was ready with the recipe in her hands and got me everything that I needed and thus it was not that difficult to come out with my favorite dessert.

So,here comes the recipe of my SUGARY-JAMUNS..

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Cup skim milk powder
  
• 1/2 Cup refined wheat flour.
• Hydrogenated vegetable oil

Whole milk enough to make the dough

For the Sugar Syrup:

• 2 Cups of sugar
• Cardamom to taste
• 1 cup of water
• Oil for frying

METHOD:

• To the mixture of refined wheat flour(maida) and skim milk powder,add 100-120 ml of  water[for every 1 cup of mix(without heap) add 1/3 cup of water].
• Mix gently to make dough without lumps and keep aside for five minutes.
• Make small round balls and fry on moderately hot oil/ghee/vanasphathi till golden brown color.
• Soak them in hot sugar syrup and allow syrup to be absorbed.

For the sugar syrup,dissolve 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of water and boil for 5 min.Add cardamom for taste.

Wow!now my gulab-jamun is ready.I really enjoyed while making them(played a little with shapes ).

A must-try sweet!!
