Cooking instructions
* Step 1
For the Rabdi: In a heavy bottomed saucepan: Add in the measured milk to it & keep the flame on the medium flame- Stir, add in the bread crumbs to it (you can cut out the edges of the breads or crumble it as is)
* Step 2
Keep stirring continuously, until it starts thickening a bit- Add in the milk powder, mixed with the milk (to a smooth paste) & keep stirring continuously & vigorously so as to avoid any lumps in it (Highly recommend to keep the flame from this point to low-medium)
* Step 3
At this point: Add in the chopped fry fruits- whichever is readily available to you...& let it cook a bit in the milk mixture in the process, add in the saffron strands as well
* Step 4
Add in the Cardamom Powder & Rose Water while stirring continuously & now, at this point- it’s thickened quite substantially
* Step 5
The colour too starts changing to the creamy-yellowish, now add in the sugar to dissolve in it well & get cooked slightly because, after adding in the sugar it’d become a bit loose again & that need be adjusted while stirring continuously on the low-medium flame
* Step 6
Finally, add in the ghee, give it all a really good mix- turn off the flame & set aside to let it cool completely (RT), once cooled it’d become even more thicker & it’d easily leave the pan without leaving much residues in the same- That’s exactly what we’re looking for
* Step 7
For the Sugar Syrup: In a large heavy bottomed pan: Add in the measured sugar & water- Keep the flame on high, add in the Rose Water & the Cardamom Powder & Saffron Strands- Mix everything well together until nicely combined & the sugar starts melting & forming the syrup now-
* Step 8
Check the consistency (it’d be like a bit oily & sticky kinda thing now), add in the lemon juice (to prevent crystallisation), mix well- Turn off the flame & let it sit on the hot oven itself for later use therein itself
* Step 9
For the Gulab Jamun: in a large mixing bowl- Add in all the aforementioned Dry ingredients & mix everything well together, add in the ghee & rub well with the dry mixture
* Step 10
Now, add in the milk gradually & knead it to a soft dough (kneading shouldn’t be vigorously done but with the gentle hands & pressures given)- The idea is to keep it as much as possible- Crack-free
* Step 11
Now, out of the prepared dough- Make the dough-lets (giving any shape of your choice) for the jamuns- Heat up a kadhai/wok over the low flame all through the frying process of the Jamuns- Add in the measured oil/ghee for frying the same
* Step 12
Drop them now, gently & cautiously to fry in the lowest possible heat by just swirling the oil around it & not touching them directly at this point- Once they increase in their volumes & sizes, with a wooden stick or a fork- keep stirring continuously but very gently so that they’re fried equally well from all the sides
* Step 13
Strain them now, turn off the flame once done & immediately drop them into the still hot/warm sugar syrup (the syrup should be hot/warm enough but not boiling or flame shouldn’t be on when the golden brown fried jamuns are dropped in it)
* Step 14
Let it be in this position resting with the lid on for at least 2 hrs time (a little more is good, I’d suggest)- Time to dish out, garnish as per your choice- it should turn out absolutely soft & moist- melting inside the mouth itself & super delectable for sure
* Step 15
ENJOY 😋 With the Family, Friends & Guests as well...💁🏻♀️
