Garam Garam Rava Gulab Jamun from leftover Ghee residue 

While some of us are fortunate to easily get all meals of the day there are many who don't have food to eat.  Small efforts from each of us on daily basis can help to save food and make efficient use of the leftover. 

In the makeover of the leftover series, today's post is Garam Garam Rava Gulab Jamun from leftover Ghee residue.  Many make ghee at home which results in large amount of  ghee residue. While many make barfi and Ladoo of this often this is wasted as many people feel it has too much of fat. But this ghee residue which is highly nutritive and you can try making this quick and easy Rava Gulab jamun. 




Ingredients and Method: 

  • In a bowl add 1 cup of ghee residue. Please ensure you extract the ghee from the residue.  Now add 1.5 tablespoon of Rava, 1/2 cup of either Maida or wheat flour (you can take any one of your choice). Add 3 to 4 crushed elachi or green cardamom (you can add less if you don't like elachi flavour; I personally love it) 
  • Now make a dough that should be like a roti dough, not too soft or hard. If you find your dough hard just add a few drops of milk.  Lastly add a pinch of baking soda, mix gently and keep the dough resting for 10 mins. 
  • Meanwhile, in another pan add 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup water and make a sugar syrup.  
  • Heat the oil or ghee in a kadai, add one small ball of the gulab jamun first to check if it is not breaking. Then gradually fry others on low to medium flame till they become golden brown. 
  • Add all the Gulab jamun to the sugar syrup and let it soak the syrup for sometime and enjoy.
