Gulab Jamun

These are my favorite specially the one's my Mom used to make...


All You Need:

1 1/2  cup water
2 cups Sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup khoya/ 1 cup instant dry milk powder (if khoya is not available)
1/2 tsp or less baking powder
frying oil

Method:

Combine sugar, cinnamon and water in a pot and let it boil on a low flame until the sugar is completely dissolved and let it form a syrup (it'll take a while so let it boil on low flame till then)


In a bowl/ plate take all purpose flour and khoya/milk powder and kneed it to form a dough with milk (you can also use water but milk gives a better taste)

Once the dough is made form very tiny balls out of that dough...
(Make sure these circles are tiny coz they will enlarge when you'll add them to the syrup)


In a kadhai / pan add oil for frying and heat it.. Then add these circles to it...
Turn the heat to low so that these Gulab jamuns are well cooked from the inside as well...


Once they start turning golden brown after a while turn the heat to medium high and take them out on a tissue (Make sure you take the gulab jamuns at medium high heat else they'll soak loads of oil inside it)


Now add them to the hot syrup we made for atleast 2 hours (for the best taste soak them overnight or for 4-5 hrs) 
Warm them up a little before serving...
