Bread Jamun


Bread Jamun:
Gulab Jamun is a very popular sweet in India,Pakistan and Bangladesh.These soft dumplings are made up of "khoya"and whole purpose flour which floats in sugar syrup.This is a successfull attempt to make instant gulab jamuns without much ingredients and no strain.
I tried this recipe with white breads .As white breads are made up of whole purpose flour and due to its soft nature , we can make soft and yummy gulab jamuns from it.Even you can't find the difference between real gulab jamuns and bread jamuns.Here , the recipe follows:

Ingredients:
White Bread Slices - 8
Sugar - 1 1/2 cups
Cardamom - 5 pods
Orange Food colour - a pinch
Oil for frying

Method:
1.First, prepare the sugar syrup by adding 1 1/2 cups of sugar to 3/4 cup of water.
2.Stir the contents and then heat at medium flame for about 5 to 10 minutes until sugar gets dissolved well in water.
3.Do not overheat,that will caramelize the sugar.
4.Now,add crushed cardamom pods and orange food colour and keep it warm.
5.Remove the crust from bread slices and make a soft dough by adding water to the bread crumbs(inner soft porton of the bread).
6.Dough should be soft enough to make smooth ball from it.
7.Heat the oil and then put the balls one by one into the oil under medium heat.
8.Jamoons must be fried under medium temperatures otherwise it will tend to break at high temperatures.
9.At medium heat,jamoon will cook slowly , so that complete cooking will be done from inside and even browning occurs.
10.Now add fried jamoons to warm sugar syrup.
11.Leave gulab jamoons in syrup overnight for best results.
12. you can refrigerate it for more than 10 days
13.Serve it either hot or cold and enjoy the delicious taste.
