“Yes, you read it right. These are non fried and are as perfect. Super soft, and I can’t even tell these aren’t fried. My main reason for not frying things is wasting of oil and ghee. It is very unhealthy to use previously fried oil for things and so I feel this is just the best,” she said.

1/2 cup – Milk powder
1/4 cup – Maida/refined flour
1/2 tsp – Baking powder

Method

*Measure ingredients accurately and mix them to make a dough.
*Do not rest the dough, and don’t over knead it too. It should be smooth.
*Divide and roll into balls instantly and try avoiding cracks.
*Now place them on an appam pan greased with ghee so that the gulab jamun is not dry.
*Make sure you cook the gulab jamuns in your appam pan on medium to low flame.
*Continuously keep turning them so you get a uniform colour. Do not over cook the gulab jamun in the pan.
*Dunk the cooked gulab jamun in hot sugar syrup (which is not boiling).

Pro tips

*Use a big pan, because the gulab jamuns will expand a little in the syrup.
*Tastes best when served slightly warm.
