    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the milk powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ghee.

    2

    Slowly add the milk and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Do not over-knead; just combine until it forms a dough.

    3

    Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

    4

    Meanwhile, prepare the sugar syrup: boil the water with the sugar, then add rose water, cardamom, and lemon juice. Simmer for 5 minutes and keep warm.

    5

    Shape the dough into small balls, ensuring there are no cracks on their surface.

    6

    Heat the oil to approximately 320°F (160°C) and fry the balls over low heat, turning them continuously to ensure even browning.

    7

    When the gulab jamuns are golden brown and soft, remove them with a slotted spoon and immediately place them in the warm sugar syrup.

    8

    Let them soak in the syrup for at least 1 hour to fully absorb the sweet flavors.

    9

    Serve warm or cold, garnished with pistachios or almonds.
