GULAB JAMUN

Gulab Jamun is a sweet and tasty Indian dessert. Main ingredients are milk and milk powder so that the main flavor will be milk flavor. Indians are mainly using gulab jamun as a special dessert for celebrations and festivals. We can make it by bread and khoya( preparing by milk) but I have used milk. If we add lime juice when we make sugar syrup it will not become thick or solid form. So that we will get proper liquid form sugar syrup. To get soft balls we have to soak in sugar syrup for atleast 3 or 4 hours. Getting proper taste and softness is important thing is making gulab jamun. As per our choice we can add kissmiss and nuts inside the balls. We need to fry this balls under medium flame otherwise it will become brown immediately and won't cook balls properly. We will get properly cooked balls if we use medium flame. We have to take extra care while frying balls. Now a days Keraliens are also using this as a wedding special dessert. If we need any other flavor or taste we can add paneer also. It is looking very attractive and tasty dessert. We will get it from shops also but we can prepare very easily at home and serve it after lunch and dinner.
