Title: Gulab Jamun
Post by: spggodd on March 15, 2019, 12:31 AM
Hey guys,

Any chance someone would be kind enough to share a Gulab Jamun recipe?
I've made them once using 'Paulys' recipe from a similar forum before BIRexit and now I can't access the recipe or my review :(

If someone could grab that recipe that would be awesome or I'm up for trying an alternative!

I made this recipe recently:

http://foodviva.com/diwali-recipes/gulab-jamun-milk-powder/

one small change was made due to allergies - gluten free flour mix instead of all purpose (plain) flour.

Making this recipe was a huge mistake.... it's quick, easy, and ZOMGSOGOOD. Double the recipe. It won't last long  :P

I know it seems odd to use volumes for measurements, so round off the cup to 240ml and eyeball it from there.

I use Imperial, US Customary, and/or metric with a reckless disregard for which purists may be offended by me smashing them all together into one recipe  ;D

Hey Bhamcurry!

Just wanted to say what a decent recipe that was, I converted the measurements of cups into grams and adjusted the mixture to the correct consistency quite easily.
They went down well at my weekend curry banquet, so thank you!

happy to help!

If you want to tweak the recipe a tad to increase the deliciousness of the syrup: add the lemon juice, bring the syrup to a boil, turn it down to a simmer, and simmer it while the rest of the cooking happens. The syrup will come to an almost golden syrup consistency.
Add a teaspoon of rose water to the syrup just before you serve. Yum.
