Ingredients

For the gulab jamun

One packet (200 gms) gulab jamun mix
120 ml water
1 cup chopped chocolate pieces, size of chick pea grains
For the sugar syrup
3 cups water
3 cups sugar
2 elaichi
1 cinnamon stick
1 clove
Oil for frying
1. Heat the oil in a heave bottomed pan.
2. Mix the water and the powder mix and knead into a soft dough. The mixture dries
quickly so you need to be quick.
3. Take a small amount of dough, flatten it on your palm, place the chocolate piece on it
and then roll the edges over the chocolate piece. (See photo below)
4. Do the same step for the entire dough. Fry the balls on a medium flame till a dark
brown colour on all sides.
5. For the sugar syrup boil all ingredients till you get a one thread sugar syrup (to test
place a drop of syrup and your thumb, press your index finger over it and then separate
the fingers slowly. The syrup between the fingers should form an unbroken single
thread)
6. Soak the gulab jamuns in the syrup till nice and fluffy and then serve hot. Even better
really hot with ice cream !
