Instructions
 

How to Make Sugar Syrup:

  • STOVE-TOP: Add water, sugar, rose water, and cardamom pods to a saucepan and bring it to boil at medium heat. Once it comes to a boil, add lemon juice and let it cook for 4-5 minutes until it gets a little sticky.
    INSTANT POT: Put water, sugar, cardamom, lemon juice, and rose water in the Instant Pot. Close the lid & pressure cook for 3 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally and then open the lid. Saute for 4-5 minutes until the syrup gets a little sticky.

How to Make Dough:

  • In a bowl, add flour, Khoya/Milk Powder, Cardamom Powder, Saffron, and Baking Soda. Mix the dry ingredients until well combined.
  • Then add ghee and mix with the dry ingredients. Then slowly add milk until the dough starts to form like a dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Then shape the dough into small balls. The dough should be smooth and free of cracks.

How to Make Gulab Jamun:

  • Stove-Top: Heat the oil in a kadai or work or in a frying pan at medium-low heat. Once the oil is warm then add the dough balls one by one without crowding it. Cook one side and then flip the other side and continue cooking until they turn golden-brown in color. (Note: Oil should not be too hot, otherwise, the dumplings will not cook properly).
    Air-Fryer: Spray oil in the air fryer basket and place the prepared balls in the basket. Don't overcrowd, work in batches. Spray oil on the balls and air fry at 350°F for 4-6 minutes.
  • Then transfer the fried Jamuns/Dumplings/balls in the prepared syrup. Make sure syrup is not hot but warm. Let it sit for at least 30-40 minutes before serving. Garnish with some pistachios and saffron.

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT KHOYA USING MILK POWDER:
