Best Indian Dessearts (Gulab Jamun Dessert Balls and More)
Report
This traditional Indian dessert is similar to a small fried donut that’s soaked in a sweet sugary syrup. It’s very sweet and would be lovely served with hot tea or coffee.

Ingredients
Dessert Balls
- 3 tablespoons self-raising flour
- 8 tablespoons full-cream milk powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
- 3 tablespoons water add more if needed
- oil for frying
For the Syrup
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 cups water
- 5 bruised cardamom pods
- 2 tablespoons rose water
Instructions
- Sift together the milk powder, flour, bicarbonate of soda, and cardamom in a large mixing bowl.
- Slowly add softened butter, then add just enough water to make a dough. Mix everything together until dough is firm and pliable.
- Shape the dough into large marble sized balls or into small sausage shapes.
- Heat up ghee in a frying pan. The frying must be done on a low heat setting. Fry slowly in heated oil until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- To make the syrup, on low heat, mix together sugar, water and cardamom pods, stirring slowly until sugar is dissolved.
- Once the mixture has slightly thickened into a syrup, put the fried gulab jamun into the syrup and let it soak until almost double in size and soft and spongy.
- Once it has cooled slightly, add in the rose water.
- Set aside and let it cool completely and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
