Gulab Jamun Recipe with Milk Powder {Easy, Juicy, and Tender}

Soak semolina or sooji in milk for 5 minutes.

In a bowl, add milk powder and vegetable shortening and mix well. Then add the all purpose flour and baking powder and mix well.

Now add the soaked sooji to this mixture and mix again. Finally, add 1/2 cup of water little by little to form a dough and keep this aside for 10 to 15 minutes.

Now make small balls out of this dough. See that there are no cracks, else it might break while frying.

Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Once the oil is hot, on medium-low flame, fry the jamuns till they become golden brown on all the sides.

Transfer it to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Keep this aside till the sugar syrup is ready.

In a bowl add sugar, saffron strands, water, and lemon juice and bring it to a nice boil on a medium flame for about 8 minutes, stirring it occasionally.

Now add the cardamom powder and mix well.

Add the fried jamuns to the sugar syrup. Make sure that the syrup is hot while adding the jamuns. Let this soak for at least one hour before serving. You can also make gulab jamuns ahead and refrigerate them.

Gulab Jamun is now ready. Serve chilled or warm, and enjoy!
