Ingredients
Custard Base
- 500 ml Milk
- ½ cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Custard Powder
- 4 tbsp Heavy Cream
Gulab Jamun and Garnish
- 10-15 Mini Gulab Jamun
- ¼ cup Nuts chopped
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the custard powder and a few tablespoons of the warm milk mixture to create a smooth slurry. This prevents lumps when added to the larger batch.
- Slowly pour the custard slurry into the simmering milk, whisking constantly. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, or until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. This adds richness and a smooth texture.
- Arrange the mini gulab jamun in a baking dish. Pour the warm custard over the gulab jamun, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes, or until heated through. The custard should be bubbly around the edges.
- Garnish with chopped nuts and serve warm. The warmth of the baked gulab jamun combined with the creamy custard creates a delightful dessert experience.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Customize the spice level by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the marinade.
- If you're short on time, you can skip the marinating step, but the chicken won't be as flavorful.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
