Gulab Jamun

Soft, golden milk dumplings are fried until lightly caramelized, then soaked in a warm cardamom-scented syrup until plump and fragrant. Serve them warm or at room temperature for a classic Indian dessert with a tender, almost melting center.

Comment préparer

1
Combine the sugar, water, and crushed cardamom in a wide saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rose water; keep the syrup warm and uncovered.
2
Sift the milk powder, flour, and baking powder into a bowl. Add the milk and mix with your fingertips just until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms. Add extra milk a teaspoon at a time only if dry; do not knead vigorously.
3
Rest the dough for 5 minutes. Lightly grease your hands, divide the dough into 18 equal pieces, and roll each into a smooth ball with no cracks; cover the shaped balls while heating the ghee.
4
Heat the ghee in a deep, heavy saucepan to about 150°C, or until a small piece of dough rises slowly with gentle bubbling. Fry the balls in batches, turning frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes until evenly deep golden brown.

5
Lift each batch with a slotted spoon and drain briefly. Transfer the hot dumplings to the warm syrup, making sure they are mostly submerged, and leave them to soak for at least 2 hours.
6
Serve the gulab jamun warm or at room temperature, spooning over plenty of cardamom-rose syrup. If desired, garnish with chopped pistachios just before serving.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Milk powder provides concentrated dairy flavor and a tender crumb, while a small amount of flour gives the dough enough structure to hold its shape. Gentle frying creates a thin caramelized shell, and the warm syrup gradually hydrates the centers without making them collapse.

Conservation et réchauffage

Comment la conserver

Store the gulab jamun covered in their syrup in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Let them stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before reheating or serving.

Comment la réchauffer

Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or microwave a portion covered loosely for 20 to 30 seconds. Do not let the syrup boil vigorously.
