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

Instructions

  • 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,  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.
  • Bread Gulab Jamun is ready to serve.

Notes

  • 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.
