Bread Gulab Jamun | Instant Gulab Jamun
Learn how to make Bread Gulab Jamun - the most easiest & yummiest dessert made with leftover bread slices!
MEASUREMENT
1 cup = 250ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml
Ingredients
- 4 Brown Bread Slices
- ⅓ cup Milk
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- Generous Pinch of Green Cardamon Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Rose Essence optional
- Oil/Ghee for frying
Instructions
- In a pot, add sugar and water – mix well. Heat it on a low flame, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Add green cardamom powder and keep stirring until the mixture has a sticky consistency. When the sugar syrup is touched between thumb and index finger, it should feel sticky. Remove from heat, add rose essence if using.
- Cut the crust off the bread and add milk. Using hands, mash the bread mixture into a smooth dough like consistency. Rub some oil/ghee on the palms if the dough is sticky. Make equal sized balls out of the mixture.
- Heat oil for deep frying. Once hot, reduce the flame to medium. Fry the prepared Jamuns in batches of 4 or 5 until golden brown. Drop the prepared Jamuns in the sugar syrup (making sure it is still warm) and make sure they are immersed well. Let them soak up the syrup for at least 30 mins.
- Serve Gulab Jamuns warm or chilled :)
Notes
- Instead of brown bread, white bread can be used. Make sure the bread is not salted but is sweet.
- Adjust the quantity of milk depending on the bread mixture consistency. You may not use entire ⅓ cup of milk.
- If the bread mixture is too sticky, apply some oil/ghee to grease your palms.
- When making the Jamuns, ensure that there are no cracks.
- While frying the Jamuns, make sure the oil is not too hot. The outside can brown too quickly while the center is raw.
- Make sure to prepare the sugar syrup before preparing the Jamuns.
- The rose essence is what makes Gulab Jamun but if you don’t like the flavor, just use the cardamom powder.
- The sugar syrup has to be warm – neither hot nor cold when the fried Jamuns are added, inorder for them to absorb the syrup correctly.
- Let the jamuns soak up the sugar syrup for atleast 30 mins before serving.
- For longer shelf life, put them in an air tight container in refrigerator.
