A tradition for a few, a guilty pleasure for others, a love at first bite for a few and a treat for others, looks like a baked version of the rounded moon and tastes divine, like Gulab Jamun. Here's how you can savour this Indian delicacy without worrying about sugar and calories. 

 

Ingredients:

For the Jamuns:

• 1 cup milk powder
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
• 3-4 tbsp milk
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder

For the Syrup:

• 1 cup water
• 1tsp Swee10 (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp rose water
• A few saffron strands
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder

Method:

1. Prepare the Syrup:
• Combine water, Swee10, saffron strands, and cardamom powder in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-7 minutes.
• Add rose water and set aside to cool.
2. Make the Dough:
• Combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cardamom powder in a mixing bowl.
• Add ghee and mix well. Gradually add milk, kneading into a soft dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. Shape the Jamuns:
• Divide the dough into small, smooth balls, ensuring no cracks.
4. Fry the Jamuns:
• Heat ghee or oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
• Fry the jamun balls until golden brown, ensuring even cooking by stirring gently.
5. Soak in Syrup:
• Place the fried jamuns into the warm syrup. Let them soak for at least 1 hour, allowing them to absorb the flavours.
