Let's dive into the recipe and discover the joy of creating a dessert that not only satiates your sweet tooth but also brings forth the spirit of celebration and love.

INGREDIENTS

1 1⁄4 cup cake flour
1 heaped tablespoon semolina
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1⁄2 teaspoon cardamom powder
½ can condensed milk
oil for frying

GULAB JAMUN SYRUP

1 cup granulated white sugar
1 ,5 cups water
1 tablespoon rose water
Pinch of elachi powder

METHOD 

Combine the 1 cup flour, semolina, cardamom powder, bicarb and baking powder.
Add butter then work into a fine crumb-like texture. Add condensed milk. Mix until a soft dough is formed.
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of flour to work the mixture into a stiff dough( it must be stiff so it doesn't break when frying). Once a ball is formed let the dough rest while you make the syrup.

Shape the dough into long, thin finger-like shapes (not too fat and not too thin). Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan on medium heat.
Fry the gulab jamuns until slightly brown. Remove from oil and place into the syrup and toss into the coconut,Serve hot or cold. Store in an airtight container.

Tips for shaping gulub JAMUN

 1. **Consistent Size:** Ensure uniformity in size for even cooking. Divide the dough into equal portions to achieve consistent Gulab Jamun.

2. **Smooth Surface:** Roll the portions into smooth, crack-free balls. The smoother the surface, the better the final presentation.

3. **No Cracks:** If you notice cracks on the surface, gently smoothen the dough by rolling it between your palms. This helps in preventing the Gulab Jamun from breaking during frying.

4. **Avoid Pressure:** While shaping, avoid applying excessive pressure as it can lead to dense Gulab Jamuns. Be gentle to maintain their soft texture.

5. **Oil on Hands:** Lightly coat your palms with ghee or oil to prevent the dough from sticking, making it easier to shape the Gulab Jamun.

6. **No Dry Edges:** Ensure that the edges of the Gulab Jamun are well-sealed to prevent them from opening up during frying.

7. **Test Dough:** Before shaping all the Gulab Jamuns, fry a small test piece to check if it holds its shape and doesn't disintegrate in the hot oil.

8. **Properly Kneaded Dough:** The dough should be smooth and well-kneaded to yield soft Gulab Jamuns. Kneading it thoroughly ensures the right consistency.

Remember, practice makes perfect. Don't be discouraged if your first attempt isn't flawless – the taste is what matters most!
"Savor the essence of tradition with every bite of these Gulab Jamuns. Let each indulgent morsel transport you to a realm of sweetness, where every occasion is adorned with the warmth of shared moments and the richness of this timeless dessert. As you relish the last spoonful, may the lingering sweetness serve as a reminder that joy can be found in the simplest pleasures. Until the next delightful rendezvous with these heavenly treats, let the taste of Gulab Jamun linger in your memories, a testament to the joy that good food brings to our lives."
