What is Gulab Jamun?

Gulab Jamun is a traditional mix of solid-based sweets from the Indian sub-continent. It is popular in many countries of Asia. Jamun is actually the name of a fruit. These deep fried balls are similar to black plum, hence the name. They are dunked in a rose water scented sugar syrup.

Recipe of Bread Gulab Jamun

Ingredients:

For the balls:

• 3 cup bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon milk powder

For the  sugar syrup:

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• a few strands of saffron
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

For frying:

• ghee

For decorating :

• 1/3 cup desiccated coconut

Method:

1. To make bread crumbs, take a few slices of bread and grind them in the mixer. I have used five slices of bread.
2. Put the bread crumbs in a bowl.
3. Add milk powder to it. Mix them slowly to a dough using milk.
4. Keep it covered for ten minutes.
5. In the meantime, make the sugar syrup. Take sugar and water in a pan. Boil it for two minutes with a few saffron strands. Put cardamom powder, set it aside.
6. To make the jamuns, make small balls of the dough.
7. Heat ghee in a pan, slowly, put a few balls and deep fry. Once they are golden in colour, put them aside,  Later, put them in the sugar syrup.
8. Fry the remaining balls and soak them in the syrup.

10. Mix desiccated coconut and cashew pieces in palate. Roll the soaked jamuns in the mixture and serve.

Take a tip:

• Use white bread to make these gulab jamun. Wheat or multi grain bread will not give a good texture. 
• The sugar syrup is just right to soak them. If you need to serve with sugar syrup, use half cup of sugar and water. 
• This is a pseudo recipe of the traditional gulab jamun. The texture is not as soft as milk based jamun. 
• It is ideal for a sudden sweet craving.
