INGREDIENTS
3 cups all purpose flour (about 1 lb)
2 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder
4 ounces pure butter (no chemicals) (Kerrygold or Anchor)
Cold Water (About 12-13 tablespoons)
6 tablespoons milk powder
1/2 teaspoon ground elychee (cardamom)
Sugar syrup(phaag)
2 cups water
2 cups granulated sugar
Less sweet (my preference)
( 1 1/2 cups water, 1 cup
Sugar)
Tips:
-If dough is too dry, It will crack in the pot
-Make each dough about 1 oz or 26 grams to be precise
-If there are cracks when forming or after formed, wet hands with water or butter to help shape without cracks
-If it gets dark brown too quickly, lower heat.
-Fry quickly after kneading and shaping as dough will dry out and crack (Break apart) in the pot, as stated above
-See options above (sugar syrup) for sweetness recommendation
-Makes about 25-30
-Never add an oiled spoon to the sugar syrup while it cooks
-It will sink when placed in the pot, but will rise to the top/float when cooked.
-Make it light or dark, depending on your color preference-I like it dark!
-Cool completely before adding syrup or else they will break while stirring.
-if it puffs up/expands a lot while frying, you need to form it smaller and tighter (again no cracks!)

[@lotusbeekey9684]

[@ranivonwurttemberg7352]

Miss Dimples finished of your video perfectly.

[@jameelakiritharan6708]

By the way, while I am at it, samosas ALSO originated in the middle east same as biriyani and barafi as the names suggest. Just thought I would say in-order to inform that not everything that we thought originated in India is from there.Times have changed and access to information is rife so we might as well use it to get to the truths as opposed to the perceived truths especially for those who cannot recognise origins of certain words which should set their minds thinking.

[@kadeemprime]

Yuh mash them up with this one Ria

[@amaraleigh453]

Can you bake them instead of frying

[@allisonmcintyre4439]

V.

[@juliealexis8510]

Nice but how much water and sugar how many did you get please reply Trini in the house .

[@CookingWithRia]

Julie Alexis thanks 1 1/2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups sugar. You may or may not use all depending on your preference and the time it takes to come to the right consistency will vary.

[@juliealexis8510]

CookingWithRia thank you so much ,bye the way I love all your videos my sister showed me your site god bless you and your family ,looking out for more .

[@MsRoss_Official258]

Can brown sugar be used to make the syrup?

[@CookingWithRia]

You could try but it won’t taste or look like the traditional.

[@TriniPeaches]

Great.... just how I make it ( I just add ginger and some sweetened condensed milk)

[@CookingWithRia]

Trini Peaches Thanks. Those ingredients are in the next version I will be making. I wanted to start with a simple but delicious recipe! 😀🌷

CookingWithRia thank you

[@iluvfood12]

CCan you put the ingredients and measurements in English in the description box?

[@CookingWithRia]

I luv Food Ok

[@jameelakiritharan6708]

Please note that gulab jamun originated in Iran/Persia, same as jelebe, not from India. The names of these sweets tells their origin because the words are Persian/Arabic. It was therefor a sweet made by the muslims who then brought it to India. Sorry, but I like to give credit where credit is due.

[@nadiamungal8653]

Hi very good job superb keep it up ♥️♥️♥️

[@CookingWithRia]

Nadia Mungal Thank you ! ❤️❣️😘

[@alroger2670]

Trinidad gulab jomoon

[@angela14962002]

[@geetaramdeo687]

Looks scrumptious 😋 😍 Some recipes have no baking powder 😮

[@CookingWithRia]

It's so good!

[@EricaBeautyJournal]

Great video as always. Can you do barfee, ladoo, jay-lay-bee (spell check), parsad, dhal etc. Thank you.

[@CookingWithRia]

Librarian Thanks! So you want me to do everything ?’!! Lol Will gladly add to my list. ❤️👍

[@EricaBeautyJournal]

Yes, yes. That will be awesome. :-)

[@hajrah7545]

How essential is the cardamom?

[@CookingWithRia]

Gives it a unique taste. Would not be as interesting without it, however if you don’t like the taste of cardamom you can eliminate it.

[@beyourself2444]

My sister hates cardamom so I leave it out

[@geetaramdeo687]

I don't know any other recipe that uses baking powder for this

[@CookingWithRia]

Give it a try. Made by my sister in law who makes it regularly for the temple folks and poojas. It’s extremely delicious. Best I’ve ever tasted.

[@beyourself2444]

I hate kurma but love Gulab Jamoon, go figure???

[@jayhunter3651]

L

[@tamiajackson]

I don't know what happened to mines.. but it fell flat in the oil...😭😭😭😭😭

[@CookingWithRia]

Tamia Jackson Did you use baking powder?

[@tamiajackson]

@@CookingWithRia yessss I did.. probably it was too moist.. 😭 gonna try today again..this time I'm going to use less milk and butter, I was just watching your video again to see where I made the mistake and I heard you say a little softer than roti, so I'll try that this time.. wish me luck!

[@CookingWithRia]

Tamia Jackson You definitely need the amount of milk powder and butter called for in the recipe for taste. As you saw on the video, only very little water was added to bring the dough together! I would only decrease that. Next time I make it I will update the recipe with the amount of water required.

[@tamiajackson]

@@CookingWithRia Thank you for that, just in the nick of time! lol.. I will let you know how it turns out this time!!

[@CookingWithRia]

Tamia Jackson good luck! I’m here if you need me!

[@nigeyboi8981]

Gulab Jamun is supposed to have almost equivalent flour and powder milk...It's not supposed to be doughy with that amount of flour...

[@radhastewart4272]

Don’t put baking powder in that sweet product
