NO OVEN GULAB JAMUN CUPCAKES
 
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup suji (semolina)
  • 2-3 tbsp whole nuts
  • 6 tbsp castor sugar
  • ¼ cup sunflower oil
  • ½ tbsp rose water
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup gulab jamun premix
  • ¼ baking powder
  • ¼ baking soda
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder
  • Chopped pistachios, to top
  • Dried rose petals, to top
  • For the syrup
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder
  • Few saffron strands
Instructions
  1. Set a saucepan on low-medium heat and add a layer of salt at the bottom. Then place a stand in the middle and carefully place a plate on it. Cover the saucepan with a lid and preheat for about 10 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, add suji and whole nuts in a blender jar and blend until nicely ground.
  3. In a bowl, add sugar, oil and rosewater and whisk well.
  4. To the same mixture, add in the milk, suji mixture, gulab jamun premix, baking powder and cardamom powder and whisk it till no lumps remain and a smooth batter is formed.
  5. Transfer the mixture into paper cups and sprinkle chopped pistachios on it. Bake for 20-25 mins till a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. This recipe makes 4 paper cups.
  6. For the syrup, take sugar, water, cardamom powder and saffron strands in a heavy bottomed saucepan and heat it on medium-high heat till the mixture reduces in volume and thickens. Once it has reached the one-string consistency or resembles a syrup, take it off the heat and let it cool. Remember the mixture will thicken more upon cooling.
  7. Demould the paper cups once cooled and drizzle the syrup over the baked cupcakes. Sprinkle some dried rose petals on top and serve !
