Kaala Gulab Jamoon (Dry Gulab Jamoon)
Advertisement
When it comes to Indian Sweets....the most delicious, lip smacking one's are maid from Mava/Khoya. Be it the Pedas, the filling within the KC Das Rasgulla sandwich, Kheers, dry fruit barfis and more._x000D_
On a personal note, I prefer the dry Gulab Jamoons any day over the Juicy gulab jamoons drowned in sugar syru

Instructions
- Grate the khoya and paneer seperately and then mix
- Add the refined flour and cornflour and knead well till smooth. You will probably notice your hands getting a little oily - this is the fat from the khoya and paneer. If you've added too much of the either flour then this wouldnt be noticeable and your jamoons will turn out to be like semi - lagori stones
- Roll them out into balls
- To make the sugar syrup, bring water to a boil and add the sugar syrup. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves.Add the cardamon powder and simmer till the sugar syrup is light golden brown. Ensure the syrup is warm enough until you finish frying all the khoya dough balls.
- Heat sufficient ghee/oil in a pan on medium heat._x000D_ Gently slide the khoya balls and remove the kadai/pan from the flame, rotate the balls gently until the color changes to dark golden drown and floats on the surface. Avoid burning the khoya balls by over frying
- Place the kadai back on the flame and continue frying until the desired color of the Kala jamoon is reached.Drain excess oil and dip them in the warm sugar syrup
- Let it soak for a maximum of 10-15 mins , depending on how warm your syrup is.Decorate with silver foil/dry fruit and serve cold.
