Since we belong to the food world, I thought of sharing this recipe with Aarthi, our dear friend who is getting married.
Aarthi of Yummy Tummy’s ,who is famous for her elaborate step by step pictures and has a vast collection of recipes.This is her moment of joy and we at the Blogging Marathom decided to have a virtual bridal shower for her.The virtual Bridal shower ,where we are recreating dishes from her blog , is our small way of expressing joy and wishing her a Happy Married Life.
Since it’s such an auspicious occasion I chose to make something sweet. Bread Gulab Jamuns! I followed the recipe ditto…but wanted to add a special touch to them, since they are for a special occasion, so added a stuffing to these.
Here is the recipe…..
6 ……………..slices white bread
1 cup……… milk
1 cup ………sugar
3-4 …………. cardamon
½ cup……… water
Stuffing
Rose petals finely chopped
Poppy seeds
Cardamom pwd
Coarsely ground sugar candy
Finely chopped pistas
Few strands saffron
Few charoli seeds
Mix everything and prepare a stuffing.The ingredients can be mixed in any proportion that you desire.
Cut off the crust from the bread slices.
Dip them in milk.
Squeeze off the excess milk and put it in a blender.
Pulse it for few times so that it is lump free.
Pinch out small balls. Flatten them..Place the stuffing and seal the balls.
Fry them in hot ghee adjusting the flame now and then to cook them evenly.
Fry till golden.Remove these on a paper towel.
Sugar syrup
Make sugar syrup by taking sugar, cardamom and water in a sauce pan and bring it to boil.
Boil it for 5 mins untill it reaches sticky stage..Take a spoonful of syrup and put it over a plate, once it is cooled rub it with your fingers, it should feel slightly sticky.
Now pour the hot syrup over the fried jamuns and cover them.
Let rest for atleast 3-4 hours before serving.
Aarthi hope you like what we BM Friends have recreated for you.
Love and Wishes always

We just got back from my friends bridal showers and she's a bit of a crazy girl so we were seeking for anything distinctive. One of my pals had a Hawaiian luau bachelorette party theme on the beach and it was amazing! We discovered a terrific bridal shower checklist and got some personalized invitations and t shirts made from this website:

Hi Vaishali! I tried these today and unfortunately they were a disaster 🙁 The dough after pulsing was way too sticky and difficult to roll into balls forget stuffing them! Also, on deep-frying, some of the balls burst and oozed out their insides 🙁 What went wrong???
Pri..my apologies on getting back so late..now what could have gone wrong..perhaps the bread soaked up lot of milk making it really soggy..and once they go soggy, naturally they will not bind..
bread is in itself a binding ingredient, so if it is over soggy it shall not hold the shape..shall give u a tip for next time..blend the bread in a mixer and make crumbs..adding milk gently bind a dough..this way they shall bind well and hold their shape and u shall b able to stuff them as well.all the best!
very lovely Vaishalii… i loved ur version…
