Bread Gulab Jamun

Bread Gulab Jamun

Ingredients

For the jamuns

Bread slices – 3

Milk – 1/3 cup

Milk powder – 1 cup

Oil/ghee – for frying

For the syrup

Sugar – 2 cups

Water – 1 cup

Cardamom – 2

Method

• In a pan boil the sugar with the water until the sugar is dissolved. Crush the cardamoms slightly and add to the sugar syrup. Off the flame and keep the syrup separate.
• Cut of the edges of the bread and soak it in the milk(add the milk little by little; maybe the whole amount of milk may not be required; depends upon the size of the bread).
• Add the milk powder to the soaked bread and knead well to form a sticky dough.
• Rub some oil onto your palms and make small balls out of the dough and keep separate.
• Heat oil in a deep bottomed pan. Deep fry the balls until it attains a nice golden brown colour. Remove the balls from the oil and add it to the prepared sugar syrup.
• Let the jamuns soak in the syrup for an hour or two and then relish it as such or with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
