Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gulab Jamun Waffle Balls.
Step 1
To create a delightful syrup, start by combining water, sugar, ground cardamom, rose water, and saffron in a saucepan.
Step 2
Bring this fragrant mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until it thickens into a luscious syrup, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the syrup is bubbling away, turn your attention to the dough.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, blend together dry milk powder, all-purpose flour, and baking soda.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate unsalted butter and plain yogurt, stirring until you achieve a smooth and cohesive dough.
Step 6
Once your dough is ready, let it rest for about 5 minutes to relax.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to shape your treats! Roll the dough into small, smooth balls, roughly the size of a penny.
Step 8
Next, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
To check if the oil is hot enough, drop in a small piece of dough; it should sink initially and then rise to the surface after about a minute, signaling that it’s ready for frying.
Step 10
Carefully fry the dough balls in batches of four, gently stirring them until they turn a beautiful dark golden brown, which should take around 2 minutes.
Step 11
Once they’re perfectly fried, remove them and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 12
Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
Step 13
Now, bring your syrup back to a boil and carefully add the fried dough balls.
Step 14
Remove the pan from the heat and cover it, allowing the balls to soak in the syrup for 45 minutes to an hour.
Step 15
This step is crucial as it infuses the treats with sweet, aromatic flavors.
Step 16
When you’re ready to serve, you’ll have a batch of irresistible, syrup-soaked delights that are sure to impress! Enjoy every bite of this delicious creation!.
