Chocolate Stuffed Gulab Jamun Recipe with Instant Mix

Chocolate Stuffed Gulab Jamun Recipe with Instant Mix

Chocolate Stuffed Gulab Jamun with instant Mix - Super easy and delicious fusion dessert recipe

indian sweet dumplings dipped in sugar syrup and served in a white bowl

What is chocolate gulab jamun?

Gulab Jamun is a traditional Indian dessert, which is deep-fried khoya (milk solid) dumplings soaked in cardamom-infused sugar syrup. Chocolate gulab jamun is a fusion and innovative variation that is made with instant gulab jamun mix and stuffed with chocolate chips. I have made this without khoya but you can also follow the traditional way and stuff them with chocolate chips.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of chocolate chips?

Yes, dark chocolate would work well. Just stuff the dough balls with a small piece of dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate.

How long can I store them?

They keep well at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want to store them for a longer period, store in the refrigerator for a week.

How to make gulab jamuns without breaking?

Gulab jamuns break for many people especially when they make with instant mixes. Follow the below tips to make them perfect every time.

  • The dough should be soft and smooth.

  • Roll the dough balls without any crackers. They should be smooth on top.

  • Always deep fry them over a low flame until they become dark brown color.

  • If you fry them to a golden brown color, they will break after adding to the syrup.

  • The sugar syrup ratio is very important. Jamuns will be too soft and mashed if you add more water than needed. The perfect water and sugar ratio is 1:1

Serving Suggestions:

Serve them chilled or warm with a scoop of ice cream. Ice cream is completely optional but some people like that combination.

They are perfect to serve on during festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Rakhi or any occasion.

Strawberry Shakarpara Recipe

Strawberry Shakarpara or Shankarpali Recipe - Innovative, delicious and crunchy sweet snack with strawberries.

What is Strawberry Shakarpara?

Shakarpara or Shankarpali is a popular Indian bite-sized crispy sweet snack often made during festivals like Diwali, Holi and Rakhi. Traditionally, it is made with flour, ghee and sugar and we don't need to add anything else. I have given a twist to the traditional shankarpali by adding strawberry puree to the flour while kneading the dough. Strawberries will give a nice color and subtle flavor to them.

How long can I store them?

They keep well in an airtight container for up to 10 days. No need to refrigerate them.

How to Make Strawberry Shankarapali Step by Step

  • To prepare the strawberry puree, wash strawberries with plenty of water and remove the green part.
  • Chop them into pieces and measure.

  • Transfer them to a blender and grind into a smooth puree along with sugar.
  • No need to add water to blend them.

  • Combine flour and slightly heated ghee in a mixing bowl to make a breadcrumb-like texture.

  • Add the poppy seeds and strawberry puree to the flour mixture and knead it into a smooth and firm dough.

  • Cover it and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.

  • Divide the dough into small round balls. Dust the work surface or a wooden board with little flour and roll each ball into a little thick circle.

  • Cut it into small pieces.

  • Deep fry them in hot oil over low-medium flame until golden brown color.

  • Drain on kitchen napkins.

Can I bake them instead of deep-frying?

If you don't want to deep fry them, you can bake them in the preheated oven. Follow the below steps.

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
  • Roll the shankarpali dough into a little thick roti or circle and cut into pieces.
  • Prick the dough pieces with a fork or toothpick.
  • Arrange them on a greased or lined baking tray and bake at 180 degrees C for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Once the edges are browned, remove them from the oven and cool completely before you store in an airtight container.
