BREAD GULAB JAMUNS / SWEET BREAD BALLS

By:Sreedevi Jayadev‎

Here, we can make gulab jamun’s with bread ( like the normal one which consists of sugar syrup) and other version is making balls like jamuns without sugar syrup. Both version’s are soo easy and quick. It tastes yummy too. ...

Bread slices - 4,5 pieces
Milk - ¼ cup
Milk powder - 2 tbsp
Sugar - ½ cup
Oil - for deep frying

Take bread slices and cut all the 4 sides of bread with a knife. In a bowl add ½ cup milk and dip the bread slices in milk and suddenly take it out and squeeze extra milk. Add milk powder to the wet bread and gently mix it with your hands to make a smooth dough. If sticky, grease your hands with little ghee. Make small size balls out of the dough. Heat oil in a pan. Drop jamuns in hot oil, in a very low flame ( otherwise inside wont gets cooked properly ) Unless normal jamuns it takes extra time to cook. Remove from oil, when its cooked and turns golden brown in colour. Drain it in a tissue paper.

To make the sugar syrup, take ¼ cup of water in a saucepan and add about ½ cups of sugar in it. Let it boil and form one string consistency. If want add a pinch of cardamom powder in the syrup. To make bread julab jamuns with syrup, dip the fried jamuns in this syrup for ½ an hour and then transfer it to a serving bowl. Enjoy.

If you like to have it dry, then put the jamuns in sugar syrup first for few minutes ( this is because we didn’t add any sweetner, to make it sweet first dip it in sugar syrup, so that it absorbs little sugar) after 3 or 4 minutes take it out and can serve as it is or else, take 2 tbsp of sugar in a plate. Roll the jamuns in it. Sugar will coat all sides of jamun. Then Serve. It makes unto 12 or 13 small sized jamuns. It will stay good for 2,3 days when refrigerated.
