Ingredients:

1. All purpose flour(Maida) – 200 gms
2. Butter – 2 tbsp
3. Salt
4. Water
5. Oil
6. Ripe banana – 2
7. Crushed jaggery (sharkara or Gur) – 1/4 cup
8. Grated coconut – 1/2 cup

Preparation:

1. Cut bananas into 2-3 pieces and steam cook. Peel off the skin, cut it through the center and remove those soft black seeds inside it.
2. Mash well using a spoon or something similar and mix it with coconut and jaggery – this mixture will be used as a filler for the samosas later.
3. Add maida, butter, salt (to taste) and add water little by little to prepare a smooth dough.
4. Make small round balls out of the dough. Roll out the balls and cut into semi circles and give it a cone shape – your imagination plays a role here
5. Now, fill the cone appropriately using the mixture we prepared earlier in step 2
6. Heat oil in a pan (kadai) and deep fry until it becomes brown in color. Serve hot.

Normally, Gulab Jamun’s are shining golden brown made of small thick milk dough balls immersed in sugar syrup and often flavored with cardamom, but the one I’m going to suggest today is totally different.

This one is a unique blend of Gulab Jamun as well as everyone’s common – rice. These are rice balls immersed in milk instead of sugar syrup . Let’s see what does it take to prepare such a unique “Gulab Jamun”?

Ingredients:

1. Rice Flour-500 gm
2. Sugar-250 gm
3. Cardamom-4 nos
4. Milk-500 ml

Preparation:

1. Dry roast the rice flour in a pan and stir continuously till it gets brown in color.
2. Knead the rice flour with warm water until it becomes a smooth dough. Make small balls out of the rice flour dough and steam cook for about 10 minutes.
3. Boil milk and add sugar as per your required sweetness.
4. Add rice balls and cardamom into the milk and let rice balls soak for at least an hour.chill and serve.

Your Rice Gulab Jamun is ready!
