Spongy Gulab Jamun is a simple recipe and is very easy to prepare. If you have milk powder at home, it is very easy to prepare the jamun at home. Have a look at the recipe.

Ingredients

1 cupMilk powder
¼ cupAll purpose flour
1/8 teaspoonBaking soda
½ cupHeavy cream
¼ teaspoonCardamom powder
1 ½ cupSugar
1 ½ cupWater

Directions

Place a pan on flame and add water along with water to it
Boil the solution till the sugar gets dissolved init
Off the flame and keep it aside
Take a large mixing bowl and add milk powder, all purpose flour, baking soda, cardamom powder, cream
Mix them well to form a soft dough
Add 2 spoons of milk if needed
The dough should be soft. Cover it with a plate and keep it aside for about 10 minutes
Divide the dough into small parts and roll them into round balls
Place a pan on flame and add oil to it for frying gulab jamun
Place the glab jamun in the frying pan and fry them till they turn dark brown in color
As the gulab jamun will expand about double the size, so it is better to give enough space in the pan while frying
Once the gulab jamun are fried exactly in the oil, remove them and place them in a separate plate
Let them cool for some time before placing them in hot syrup
Then place them in hot syrup and let them sit for about 20 minutes prior to serving.

Fry the jamun on low flame because they get harder inside if you cook on high flame. Do not add too much of baking soda as they turn soft and break after adding in sugar solution. If you are bored with gulab jamun, you can also try traditional Rice Kheer for Diwali as naivedyam to God.
