Ingredients of Brown Bread Gulab Jamun:
6 slices brown bread
1 cup sugar
1 piece green cardamom
6 tablespoon milk
1 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil
Step 1 Make bread crumbs
Bread the bread roughly and add it to a blender. Blend a few times to form breadcrumbs. Take them out in a bowl.
Step 2 Make a dough
Now add milk to the breadcrumbs and knead with your hands. The mixture might feel crumbly, but don't add more milk. Keep kneading and you will get a dough soon.
Step 3 Make balls and fry
Now make about 10 balls from the dough. Heat oil in a pan and add 5 balls to the pan. Fry until golden brown in colour. Take them out and fry the rest of the balls as well.
Step 4 Make sugar syrup
Add 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a pot. Bring to a boil, add cardamom and then let it simmer until it thickens a bit. Switch off the flame and add the fried balls to it. Cover with a lid and set it aside for 2 hours.
Step 5 Ready to be served
After 2 hours, the Gulab Jamuns will double in size and will be filled with syrup. Serve warm.
