Bread Paneer Jamun

Gulab Jamuns are my absolute favorites!!! If you have a horrible sweet craving and need something sweet instantly you can whip up this goodness..It is so simple to make and of course no hard to eat..This is made with bread, you can use up any leftover bread slices to make this yummy jamuns…You can make this for parties or for kids, this hardly take us anytime to make but the result is pretty impressive..

Ingredients:

Bread - 6 slices
Paneer - 5-6 grated
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 1/2 cup

Method:

Cut off the rims of the bread pieces and dip them in milk. Squeeze off the excess and put it in a blender along with grated paneer.

Pulse it for few times so that it is lump free. Now make small balls out of it and fry them in hot oil in a low flame..
                         
Fry till golden, don't fry it so much or else it wont absorb the syrup. Remove this to a paper towel..

Make sugar syrup by taking sugar, cardamom and water in a sauec pan and bring it to boil.

Boil it for 5 mins untill it reaches sticky stage..

Now pour the  hot syrup over the fried jamuns and cover it with a plate or plastic wrap. Let it rest for atleast 3-4 hours before serving.

Serve with icecream or on its own.
