Bread Gulab Jamun | Quick Diwali Sweet
Tips:
- Don't deep fry gulab jamun in high flame.
- To check whether oil is enough hot, drop a little bit of dough into oil. If the dough rises up immediately, then oil is enough hot.
- Oil can be replaced with ghee for deep frying.
- Don't over crowd gulab jamun while deep frying.
- It takes 5-7 mins for the gulab jamun to get fully cooked.
- No sugar consistency is needed for sugar syrup. Once all the sugar is dissolved and comes to rolling boil add cardamom powder and boil for one more minute. Remove from stove.
- Sugar syrup should be warm, when gulab jamun 's are transferred to it.
- Store gulab jamun at room temperature for about a week.
- Before serving, garnish with chopped nuts. This is optional
