Idli Orange Jamun by Sangeeta on Dec 13, 2011
Gulab jamun is a traditional sweet but I tried it with left over idlis and orange flavor.......hope you guys will like it...:)
- Cook time:
- Prep time:
- Yields: make normal size 12
- For Gulab Jamun:
- 4 fresh idli (crushed)
- 2 bread slices (edges trimmed and crushed)
- 5 tablespoons hariyali mawa (khoya) (evaporated milk)
- 5 tablespoon milk powder
- 2 teaspoons corn flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup Tang (orange health drink powder)
- pinch of orange food color
- For Chashni (Sugar syrup)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon orange emulsion
- For Frying:
- refined oil /pure ghee
For Chashni:In a heavy bottom pan, put together sugar and water,bring to a boil on high heat. Once it starts boiling, switch to medium heat and let simmer until the syrup thickens – about 15 minutes.At this point do a consistency check -What you want is a single thin string consistency .To achieve this, keep boiling the syrup until a drop of syrup leaves one string between your thumb and finger.Put off the gas and add orange emulsion.
For Gulab Jamun:Mix all ingredients of gulab jamun and mix well with your palm.Knead this to make a fine dough. Shape this into lemon size balls.
Heat oil /ghee in a kadai and fry these kneaded balls at low flame till golden brown.Put these fried balls in the sugar syrup and Bring it to a boil for a min.
When it begins to boil,turn off the flame and serve Hot with Vanilla or Butterscotch ice cream.....:)
NOTE:IF mawa and milk powder is not handy one can replace both ingredients with Instant Gulabjamun mix,and then it can be consumed by my VEGAN friends too...
NOTE: vegan and health conscious people can fry this jamuns in oil but it tastes more yummy when fried in ghee.
NOTE: Hariyali mawa is a mawa made from cows milk and also known as gulab jamun mawa in India,but you can use any mawa.
NOTE: If you don"t have orange emulsion,you can use orange food color and orange essence instead of it.
NOTE:You can replace orange flavor with Chickoo (sapota) or Pineapple flavor too,they also tastes nice.
