Gulab Jamun (Gulab jambu)

One of the most preferred desert by Indians and my Brazilian friends. Can be stored in the refrigerator for a week. Normally they are round in shape, but I prefer to make in a rod shape. As they are  deep fried you need less oil to fry in case of rod shape. I never reuse fried oil.

Method:

Syrup:
4 cups sugar
31/2 cups water

Dough:

Shift all the dry ingredients together.

Add butter or ghee and mix with hand.

Make the dough by adding milk little by little, do not press the dough.

The dough should have the consistency of pizza dough, if needed add more or less milk.

Cover and live it to settle for 2 to 3 hours or more.

Mix sugar and water when it starts to boil lower the heat to medium and let it boil for five minutes.

With the grease hand knead the dough softly.

Make small balls (smaller than a marble) or in a rod shape.

Warm the oil on medium low heat.

Put a few at a time as they double in size.

cook till dark brown. Stain and drop into the warm syrup.
