INGREDIENTS USED IN EGGLESS GULAB JAMUN CHURROS

• FLOUR

The flour binds the ingredients, allowing the churros to hold their shape during frying, while still absorbing the rich flavors of saffron and cardamom. This fusion of flour with traditional gulab jamun ingredients creates a crispy shell with a soft, flavorful center—capturing the essence of both worlds in one delicious bite.

• WATER

Water plays an essential role in Gulab Jamun Churros, helping to bring the dough together and achieve the right consistency. Additionally, it helps dissolve the saffron and cardamom, allowing their flavors to blend smoothly into the dough. During frying, the water evaporates, contributing to the churros’ crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft, much like the tenderness of gulab jamun.

• BUTTER

Butter is a source of fat, and it imparts a rich, buttery flavor to the churro dough. This enhances the overall taste of the churros, making them more enjoyable and indulgent. The fat content in butter contributes to the tender texture of the churros. Butter acts as a binding agent, helping to hold the churro dough together and maintaining its shape when piped. This is especially important during the frying process, as it prevents the churros from falling apart in the hot oil.

• CARDAMOM

Cardamom is the heart of Gulab Jamun Churros, infusing the dessert with its signature warm, sweet-spicy aroma that’s essential to the flavor profile of traditional gulab jamun. In this fusion, ground cardamom is mixed into the dough, allowing its bold, fragrant notes to permeate each churro bite.

• KESAR

Kesar (saffron) adds a luxurious and aromatic touch to Gulab Jamun Churros, elevating the fusion dessert with its vibrant color and delicate floral flavor. Infused into the dough or the syrup, saffron lends a golden hue that enhances the visual appeal, reminiscent of the rich saffron syrup in traditional gulab jamun. As the churros fry, the saffron releases its subtle yet distinctive essence, weaving its way into every crispy bite.

• ROSE WATER

Rose water adds a delicate, floral sweetness to Gulab Jamun Churros, enhancing the dessert with a soft, fragrant undertone that’s a hallmark of traditional Indian sweets like gulab jamun. In this fusion, rose water can be incorporated into the dough or drizzled into the syrup that the churros are served with, infusing each bite with its unmistakable aroma. Its subtle floral essence balances the warmth of cardamom and saffron, creating a harmonious blend of flavours.

TIPS TO MAKE EGGLESS GULAB JAMUN CHURROS

1. Let the dough cool slightly before piping. Do not pipe when its very hot.
2. Fry at the Right Temperature: Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure the oil reaches and maintains a temperature of around 175-190°C. This will give you crisp and golden churro.
3. Fry the churros  in small batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer, as it can lower the oil temperature and result in uneven cooking.
4. Boil the sugar and water mixture until it reaches a one-string consistency. To check the consistency, take a small amount of syrup between your thumb and forefinger. When you pull them apart, one string should form.
5. A small amount of lemon juice (about half a teaspoon) can be added to prevent the sugar syrup from crystallizing. It also adds a subtle tanginess.
6. If the syrup is too thin, you can simmer it for a few more minutes to thicken. If it’s too thick, add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
