Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Serves: 30 no
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 150gm pack gulab jamun ready mix or instant mix
- 1/4th measure of water (or as mentioned in the cover)
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp ghee
- A pinch of cardamom powder
- Oil or ghee for deep frying
Instructions for making soft jamun using ready mix:
- To begin with cut open the ready mix packet. Measure and take the jamun ready mix using a small cup. Put it in a wide bowl or plate. The first trick lies here. You need to measure and take the jamun mix as well as water before proceeding.
- Now measure and take 1/4th measure of water using the same cup. Like I measured the ready mix it was little less than 2 cups so I took little less than 1/2 cup of water. Now sprinkle the water little by little and prepare very loose and soft dough. The second trick and most important trick is mixing the dough. Please refer this video. You need to be very gentle while kneading. Use your fingers and just make the loose dough. Do not knead it like chapthi dough. After that cover and keep it aside for 5 minutes.
- Now let us prepare sugar syrup. I measured and took 2 cups of sugar, equal amount of water and cardamom powder. And kept it for boiling.
- Once it starts boiling allow it to boil for 6 - 7 minutes under medium flame. Switch off the stove.
- Now grease your palms and make small balls. Be gentle while making the balls. Do not put a lot of pressure.
- Finish making all the balls and keep it ready.
- Paralley take oil or ghee for deep frying in a frying pan and heat it under medium flame.
- To check whether the oil has reached the proper heat, drop only one jamun and check. It should come up immediately and start changing the color slowly with lot of bubbles. Take it out once it is done.
- Now drop few gulab jamun balls and start frying under medium flame. Please note the flame should not be more or less. If it is more then the jamuns wil become dark immediately and will not cook properly. So you will left out with white portion in the middle. Same time if the flame is too low then the jamuns will start crackling here and there.
- Keep stirring and flipping the jamuns. Wait until it reaches golden brown color.
- Take the fried jamuns out and keep them on a tissue paper.
- Immediately drop the fried hot gulab jamuns in the hot sugar syrup. Please note both jamun and sugar syrup should be hot. And wait for 15 - 20 minutes. And yes...it is done. Enjoy your soft, juicy and tasty gulab jamuns.
