Instructions:

5. Add Sugar and Cardamom Drops:

– Add the sugar and cardamom drops to the rice mixture.

– Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves, and the kheer thickens to your desired consistency.

– If using saffron strands, soak them in a tablespoon of warm milk and then add them to the kheer for a beautiful colour and aroma.

6. Add Nuts and Raisins:

– Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins.

– Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the nuts to soften slightly.

7. Cool and Serve:

– Remove the kheer from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Gulab Jamun

Rose drops from Onedrop Wellness can infuse a delightful floral aroma and flavour into your Indian sweets. Here’s a recipe for “Rose flavoured Gulab Jamun,” a popular and delicious sweet treat.

Ingredients:

*For the Gulab Jamun:

– 1 cup milk powder

– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

– 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

– 2-3 tablespoons milk (approximately)

– Onedrop Wellness Rose Drops (for flavour)

– Oil or ghee for frying

*For the Sugar Syrup (Rose-flavoured):

– 1 cup sugar

– 1 cup water

– Onedrop Wellness Rose Drops (for flavour)

– A few strands of saffron (optional)

– 1 teaspoon Onedrop Cardamom drops

Instructions:

Prepare the Sugar Syrup:

1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water.
2. Place it over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
3. Add a few drops of Onedrop Wellness Rose Drops to infuse the syrup with a lovely rose flavour.
4. If desired, add a teaspoon of Onedrop cardamom drops for extra aroma and a few saffron strands for colour and flavour.
5. Allow the syrup to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it slightly thickens.
6. Remove it from heat and set aside. The sugar syrup should be warm when you add the fried gulab jamun.

 

Prepare the Gulab Jamun:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of milk powder, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of ghee (clarified butter) to the dry mixture.
3. Gradually add milk, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft dough. You may not need all the milk, so be cautious not to make the dough too wet.
4. Add a few drops of Onedrop Wellness Rose Drops to the dough and knead it in to infuse the rose flavour. Adjust the number of drops to your preference for the intensity of the rose aroma.
5. Divide the dough into small equal-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls. Ensure there are no cracks on the surface.
6. Heat oil or ghee in a deep frying pan over medium-low heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
7. Gently slide the rolled gulab jamun balls into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown. Keep the heat low to ensure they cook evenly and don’t get too dark on the outside while remaining uncooked inside.
8. Once they are golden brown, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil by placing them on paper towels.

 

Soak the Gulab Jamun:

1. Place the fried gulab jamun balls in the warm rose-flavoured sugar syrup.
2. Allow them to soak for at least 1-2 hours or until they become soft and spongy. They will absorb the rose-flavoured syrup, becoming sweet and fragrant.

 

Serve and Enjoy:

Your Rose-flavoured Gulab Jamun is ready to be served. Garnish with slivered pistachios or edible rose petals for an extra touch of elegance and flavour. These sweet, aromatic, and soft gulab jamuns are perfect for special occasions or as a delightful dessert.
