Ingredients:
* 6 cups water
* 3 cups sugar
* 1 tbsp cardamom powder
* 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 3 cups powdered milk
* 2 tbsps rose water
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* Vegetable/sunflower oil for deep frying
* 1 cup thickened/double cream

Preparation method for Gulab Jamun Recipe

To make one of the most popular desserts of India, start by stirring the water and sugar in a deep pan and let boil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Next, remove pan from heat and add cardamom powder and rose water. Stir well and keep the pan aside.
Stir powdered milk, baking powder and all-purpose flour well in a bowl. This will help make a soft dough. Add some thickened cream and stir it well, but be sure to use enough flour so it’s not sticky one bit.
Make small sized balls with the dough and greasy palms. Warm the oil for deep frying in a pan over a medium flame.
Place the dough balls into the warmed oil and mix gently. Make sure the dough balls get fried equally.
Continue until the balls get a golden brown color, then bring out of the oil and allow it to chill for a while.
Let the balls soak in sugar syrup for about 2 hours. You may serve the cooled gulab jamun with ice cream, or maybe even thick cream and shavings of dry fruits.
