Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Gulab Jamun mix and whole wheat flour.
  • Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid adding too much water at once.
  • Knead the dough until smooth and pliable. This develops the gluten and creates a tender cookie.

  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • For the optional sugar syrup, combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Let the syrup cool. For soft, syrup-infused cookies, soak the cooled cookies in the warm syrup for 15-20 minutes.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder or using a milder variety.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute with parsley or omit it altogether.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can also freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
