Recipe of Bread Gulab Jamun
Ingredients:
For the balls:
- 3 cup bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon milk powder
- 1/2 cup milk
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
- a few cashew pieces
Method:
- To make bread crumbs, take a few slices of bread and grind them in the mixer. I have used five slices of bread.
- Put the bread crumbs in a bowl.
- Add milk powder to it. Mix them slowly to a dough using milk.
- Keep it covered for ten minutes.
- 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.
- To make the jamuns, make small balls of the dough.
- Heat ghee in a pan, slowly, put a few balls and deep fry. Once they are golden in colour, put them aside, Â Later, put them in the sugar syrup.
- Fry the remaining balls and soak them in the syrup.
- Soak for four to five hours.
- Mix desiccated coconut and cashew pieces in palate. Roll the soaked jamuns in the mixture and serve.Â
- Bread Gulab Jamun is ready to serve.Â
Take a tip:
- Use white bread to make these gulab jamun. Wheat or multi grain bread will not give a good texture.Â
- The sugar syrup is just right to soak them. If you need to serve with sugar syrup, use half cup of sugar and water.Â
- This is a pseudo recipe of the traditional gulab jamun. The texture is not as soft as milk based jamun.Â
- It is ideal for a sudden sweet craving.Â
