This recipe for fluffy, rosy gulab jamun takes me back to my childhood. Every bite of these soft, rose, cardamom and saffron syrup-soaked milk doughnuts melts in the mouth. I make them with a combination of milk powder, semolina and paneer, which gives them the most delicious bounce and airy middle, with the perfect amount of caramelisation on the outside. This iconic Indian dessert is best served warm, with a scoop of ice cream – pistachio is my flavour of choice.
For this recipe you will need a sugar thermometer and a pan suitable for deep frying.
