Gulab Jamuns in Rose Syrup are a delightful Indian dessert perfect for festive occasions, featuring golden-brown fried dough balls soaked in a sweet, fragrant rose syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups full-fat milk powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup ghee or oil
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 1 cup rose syrup
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water to form a soft, pliable dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Divide the dough into small marble-sized portions. Gently roll each portion into smooth balls, ensuring no cracks.
  3. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add rose syrup and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Heat ghee or oil in a deep pan over medium heat to 320°F-350°F (160°C-175°C).
  5. Fry the dough balls in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Carefully transfer the fried gulab jamuns to the warm rose syrup.
  7. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Garnish with chopped pistachios or almonds for added crunch.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  • For gluten-free gulab jamuns, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Adjust sugar in the syrup based on your preference.
