I am sure most of you have read Our Story in this blog where I wrote about my love story with AS. I have always said that I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life.

Wedding Ceremony

The day that he entered my world changed me in such a positive way. Life is beautiful now. I see the importance in every action that I take. Each moment is cherished.

We have been through the good and the bad times in life together and I have to admit he has been a pillar of strength in my life.

He knows me so well and makes sure I am happy. He makes me smile and laugh and I love those moments.

This morning I woke up as normal. AS and Chhori were still be in bed and I started getting ready to go to work. When I went to the kitchen to make breakfast, this was on our kitchen bench top, it just melted my heart.

I think it is the small moments like this that make life truly amazing.

How to make Lal Mohan with instant mix

Posted on November 4, 2011 | 13 comments

Lal Mohan is a sweet made from flour into balls and dipped in sugar syrup. It is called Gulab Jamun in India. 

This is one of the dishes I had made for Tihar. I made it for the first time and it turned out to be quite yummy. It is one of the easiest sweets I have made. 

AS, my brothers, my colleagues at work all loved it so I am sharing the recipe here for anyone who wants to try it. 

Ingredients

  • 1 Lal Mohan Mix (Gulab Jamun Mix)
  • 1 kg Sugar
  • Water
  • Oil to fry 

Steps

  • Add around 250ml water to the content of the pack. I used Priya mix which was 500g. Check the pack for other brands.
  • Mix it slowly until there are no lumps left. It will be very mushy and sticky but don’t worry. That is how it is supposed to be.
  • Make sure you don’t knead the dough.
  • Leave the dough for a while (5 – 10 mins). In this time make the sugar syrup.
  • In a big container, add 5 cups of sugar and 5 cups of water. Let it heat for 10 -15 minutes on medium heat.
  • Do not overheat as that will caramelize the sugar and we don’t want that.
  • Back to the dough. Lightly coat your hands with some oil, take a bit of the dough and make small balls of about 1 inch or 1 ½ inches.
  • Try to make all the dough into balls and leave them on the tray. Cover with a kitchen towel which is a bit damp.
  • Heat some oil in a deep pan. The oil must be enough to cover the dough balls.
  • To test the temperature of the oil, add a small ball. If the ball rises slowly to the surface from the bottom then the oil is ready.
  • Add the balls and fry them very slowly under medium temperatures
  • You have to constantly move the balls so it doesn’t stick and cooks all the way through and are brown evenly all around.
  • Once the balls are brown, take them out of the pan and put them on a kitchen paper to soak the excess oil.
  • Now drop the balls in the warm sugar syrup and leave it for an hour. Make sure you use a large container as these balls will expand as they absorb the syrup.
  • Your Lal Mohan is ready. Enjoy !!!
