Makes: 11

Ingredients

1 cup / 200 ml MTR Gulab Jamun Mix (Indian standard measuring cup of 200 ml / 8 oz capacity)
1/4 cup (3 tablespoons) milk
2 teaspoon oil / ghee
225 ml oil for frying
1 cup / 200 ml  sugar (or 1 cup + 2 tablespoons)
1 cup / 200 ml  water (or 1 cup + 2 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

Method

In a wide bowl, add 1/4 cup milk gradually to 1 cup MTR Gulab Jamun mix and knead gently into smooth dough. Keep aside for 5 minutes.

Apply oil or ghee on both palms, then shape the dough into small balls.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Do not fry on high heat. Reduce the heat to low and deep fry on both the sides until golden brown in batches (5 jamuns at a time). Drain out from the oil and keep aside.

In a wide bowl, boil sugar and water for 10 minutes (until slightly thickens) on a medium heat. Switch off the heat. Sprinkle cardamom powder.

Soak fried gulab jamuns in hot sugar syrup for 20 minutes until they completely absorb the syrup. Serve warm or cold.
