  • 1 tablespoon(s) butter (melted)
  • 2.33 cup(s) non-fat dry milk powder

Gulab Jamun Directions

  1. Put sugar and water in a heavy saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves.
  2. Increase heat and bring to a boil and boil for about 5 minutes, or until thickened and syrupy.
  3. Stir in rose water and saffron threads and keep warm.
  4. Sift together flour and baking powder into a medium bowl; stir in milk powder.
  5. Mix in butter and yogurt and enough milk to make a soft dough.   With floured hands, divide dough into 24 pieces. Make a depression in center of each and press in two or three raisins.
  6. Cover raisins with dough and roll into balls.
  7. Half-fill a deep pan or deep fryer with oil and heat to 375F (190C) or until a 1-inch cube of bread browns in 50 seconds.
  8. Fry balls four or five at a time, 3 to 5 minutes until a deep golden brown.
  9. Drain on paper towels, then add to the syrup.   Serve hot.
