im crazy about gulab jamans,they are the only mithai i like to eat,well,after eating Ambala's yummy gulab jamans alot...and getting addicted to them,i decided to try to make some myself(thats exactly what i Shouldnt have done)
ok...so i bought a gulab jaman mix,n all u had to do was make a paste,by mixing the owder with milk...aur phir frying them...and putting them in the sweet water.ok,now the prob was...kay it was a small mix,n the instructions said make 20 gulab jamans...s i did,n they were tiny,i fried them.....and put them in the *sheera*...they looked nice butafter alll that hard work they were *kachey* damn...i spent like half an hour making them...& i had to throw them away my sis thought i didnt fry um properly...but if i didnt take um out when i did they wouldv become black.


does anyone have any better recipies...mixes...or tips on how o make the perfect gulab jamans???

Oh my gosh .... I LOVE AMBALA'S mithai. :love:

I made like 100 gulab jaman's last year. It was my first time. I ended up making too much dough so me and my mother were literally rolling all night. I will dig up the recipe for you .... if I can find it.







me lost me cookie at the disco .... me lost me cookie in the boogie music

Its crucial to set your oven to a halki aanch when frying, this inturn makes the inside and outside cook together rather than burning the outside and leaving inside kacha. Try that if you haven't, otherwise I can give you another method that I've tried. Oh and don't put all your jamuns in at once. Do it a few at time in three batches if possible to see if your trials are successful.

My fav fav sweeties were those block ones, from ambala in white. Oh my good god, they were gorgeous, one time, in pak, I kidnapped an Uncle and went and brought boxes and boxes and boxes full and kept them in a freezer and ate them.

YUM. Memories, I remember eating a sizeable amount whilst watching pakeeza.

And the last time I went back I brought bags full of tikkas and kebabs. And ate them.

Sheesh, my mouth is watering.

O and PK, good luck.

I think Ambala is in India but Ambala sweets may be in Pakistan.

Okay no laughing or owt but here's a recipe for Gulab Jamuns from Thap's country kitchen:

Gulab Jamun


8 tbsp of full cream powder
3 tbsp of self raising flour
¼ teasp of bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp of soft butter
Approx 3 tbsp of water
Oil for frying

Syrup:
2 cups of white sugar
4 cups of water

1-Sift milk powder and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Rub in butter and add enough water to make pliable dough.

2-Mould into balls the size of large marbles or small sausage shapes.

3-Make syrup by combining sugar and water. Heat until dissolved and simmer for 5 minutes.

4-Fry moulded jamuns slowly in hot oil until thy turn a deep golden brown colour.

5-Put fried gulab jamuns into syrup and soak until almost double in size and soft and spongy.

6-Allow to cool completely and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

7-Eat 'em all up.

I'm still the hard man of gupshup despite doing a bit of cooking on the side.
