Method

  1. Step 1:

    In a large bowl mix together the milk powder, flour, almond flour, cardamom powder and baking powder. Mix until well combined.

  2. Step 2:

    Add the clotted cream to the bowl. Use your fingers to mix and bring the dough together. If the dough is too tight add a dash of milk. Do not knead the dough too much. Just bring it all together to a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

  3. Step 3:

    Meanwhile to a pan add sugar, water, cardamom powder, rose water and saffron. Bring it to a boil. Add lemon juice. Then lower the heat and let the syrup simmer for 5-6 mins. Once it’s a little sticky, remove pan from heat and set aside. Keep it warm.

  4. Step 4:

    Knead the rested dough and make ~14 small balls of 15-16gms each. Work the dough with buttered soft hands and squeeze the ball between your palm to shape it into smooth round ball with no cracks.

  5. Step 5:

    Heat oil in wide pan on medium heat. Heat oil for ~5mins on medium heat and then lower the heat to low-medium. Add the jamuns to the warm oil. Fry until golden-brown. Keep moving the jamuns regularly with a spatula so that they get cooked evenly. Once they are dark brown in colour, remove them from the oil.

  6. Step 6:

    Drop the Gulab jamuns in warm sugar syrup. Let it soak the syrup for at least 30mins.

    Garnish with chopped almonds and silver leaf. Serve warm or cold.
