Dry Gulab Jamun - Dry Gulab Jamun with Milk Powder

Dry Gulab Jamun - Dry Gulab Jamun with Milk Powder - Easy Diwali Sweet Recipe

Dry Gulab Jamun - prepared with milk powder and maida as the main ingredient. I actually thought to share this recipe three years ago, but I wanted to post it along with the video. So I decided to post this dry gulab jamun for this Deepavali. Whenever we visit Trichy we used to buy this dry gulab jamun from the famous sweet shop mayil mark at Trichy junction. It's one of our family favourite dessert. They have a dark brown dry jamuns coated with fine sugar. For flavours they add a pinch of dry ginger powder in the jamuns. I have tasted many dry gulab jamuns however the dry ginger flavoured one is the best one. During your next visit to Trichy, you can also try those dry gulab jamuns.

How to make Dry Gulab Jamun

1. Make the dough for jamun - This dough comes together easily and there is no need for sifting works. The dough is prepared with milk powder, maida, rava, baking powder, baking soda, ghee and warm milk. Start with mixing the dry ingredients and then add ghee. Mix well and then knead the dough with warm milk. Don't overknead the dough. Make sure the dough is not dry because it will make the jamuns hard. Rest the dough for 10 minutes.

2. Prepare the sugar syrup - For 1 cup sugar add 1/2 cup of water. We have to boil the sugar until it reaches one string consistency. After it comes to a boil add cardamom powder and lemon juice and continue to cook for a couple of minutes and turn off the heat. This will take about 10 minutes in total and close it with a lid until preparing the jamuns.

3. Prepare the jamuns - This recipe will yield 18 to 20 small sized jamuns. I suggest to grease your palm with a little ghee and then roll the jamuns without any cracks. In the meantime, heat the oil in deep kadai on medium heat. Always use deep kadai for frying the jamuns because it will be perfect to fry evenly in all the sides uniformly. Do not use flat kadai because the jamuns will stick to the bottom quickly as soon as when you add it into the hot oil. When you have finished rolling the jamuns add into the hot oil one by one. Reduce the heat to low and fry them until it turns brown.

4. How to soak the jamuns - The jamuns needs to be soaked in the sugar syrup minimum 2 hours. After an hour gently flip the balls for uniform coating. Now only our kids will open and see it again and again to taste the jamuns. After 2 hours, gently take the jamuns to a plate and for an extra garnishing the jamuns are rolled in sugar or with a dessicated coconut gratings.

Collection of Poriyal & Thoran - South Indian Vegetable Side Dishes for Lunch

Every day we prepare two varieties of vegetable side dishes for our lunch. Among those two varieties there must be a poriyal dish and the other one is kootu, aviyal or varuval. Varieties of poriyal dishes are countless with our seasonal vegetables. As I said in my poriyal or thuvaram dishes, we add the ground coconut mixture prepared with coconut, small onions, garlic cloves and red chilly or green chilly. This unique coconut paste is often used in our poriyal or thuvaram dishes. Some prefer to add grated coconut or desiccated coconut powder for poriyal dishes. I actually don't like poriyal dishes made without any flavours. For me, poriyal must have a mix of flavours with perfect textures. We usually precook the vegetables in a vessel (except for keerai poriyal) and then we saute it with the tempering ingredients and finished with our coconut mixture. If you find it difficult to precook the vegetables, you can prepare as you like. But actually pre cooking the ...

Rajma Sweet Corn Salad with Curd Dressing - Healthy Protein-Rich Salad

If you’re looking for a light, refreshing, and protein-rich salad, this Rajma Sweet Corn Salad is the perfect choice! Almost 19 years ago, when we were in California, I used to enjoy the Chipotle burrito rice bowl. It was a wholesome meal with black-eyed peas, long grain rice, sweet corn, sour cream, guacamole, and tossed capsicum onion slices(fajita). Among all the Italian, Mexican, and Chinese restaurants I tried in the US, that Chipotle burrito bowl has always been my all-time favorite. Recently, when I prepared this Rajma Sweet Corn Salad with curd dressing, the taste immediately reminded me of that burrito bowl I loved so much. The combination of rajma and sweet corn with the creamy curd dressing brought back those nostalgic flavors in a healthier, Indian-inspired way. Rajma (kidney beans) takes a little longer to cook than other legumes like chickpeas or peanuts, but the effort is worth it. With the sweetness of corn, the crunch of fresh veggies, and the tangy curd dressing, this...
