Gulab jamuns are staple in most parts of India, Served as a dessert. This is a traditional Indian dessert. Spongy milky balls soaked in sugar syrup. Frying gulab jamuns is an art in itself. The flame has to be sufficiently low so that the gulab jamuns get cooked till the inside... So friends without much ado lets strat the recipe.
Ingredients:
Khoya (mawa) 1 cup (grated)
Chenna- ½ cup (mashed)
refined flour (Maida ) 2tblsp
soda bicarbonate ½ tsp
cardamom powder- 1tsp
Sugar 1 ½ cup
Oil for deep frying
a few saffron (kesar) strands (optional)
Method
Mix the mawa and chenna properly & add soda , maida and a little water. Make a soft dough.
Divide into equal portions and shape into balls. These should have no cracks on the surface as otherwise the gulab jamuns will crack while frying.

Remove any impurtiies which float on top of the syrup using a slotted spoon.
