Jaangiri Gulab Jamun Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup of milk powder
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp of baking powder
- 1/4 tsp of cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 tbsp of ghee
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/4 tsp of saffron strands
- 1 tsp of rose water
- Oil for frying

Special equipment needed:
- A deep-frying pan
- A large mixing bowl
- A slotted spoon
- A saucepan

Step-by-step instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cardamom powder.

2. Add the water and ghee to the dry ingredients and mix well to form a smooth dough.

3. Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat.

4. Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a cylindrical shape. Repeat with the remaining dough.

5. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cylindrical dough pieces to the oil and fry until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried dough pieces from the oil and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
