Upwasache Gulabjam – Marathi Recipe

Instructions

For Gulabjam Dough:

• Grate the khoya so that no lumps are left in it.
• Add sabudana flour and mix it well with khava.
• If you don’t have sabudana flour then blend sabudana well in a mixer and sieve with suji strainer. Then mix it with khava.
• You can roast the sabudana for about 4-5 minutes in a pan and then blend so that it becomes nice and fluffy.
• Add milk and knead the dough really good with the palm of your hand.
• Cover and rest the dough for about 15-20 minutes.

For making sugar syrup:

• Heat up a pan.
• Add sugar and water.
• Mix well and let the sugar dissolve completely.
• When the mixture begins to boil reduce the heat medium & cook the syrup for just another 3-4 minutes.
• When the syrup becomes a little sticky, turn off the gas.
• No need to look for any thread consistency.
• The syrup should be a little thin so that it gets nicely absorbed into the gulabjam.

For Making Gulabjam:

• Heat up oil on medium heat.
