Almond flour gulab jamun is a lighter version of the beloved Indian dessert. The almond flour adds a nutty depth while maintaining a soft and juicy texture.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Blend the dry mix

Start by adding almond flour, all-purpose flour, pistachios, sugar, cardamom seeds, potato starch, salt, and baking soda into a blender. Blend until the nuts break down and the mixture is even. Add bread crumbs and pulse once or twice. This forms the base mix for the gulab jamun.

Description - Step 2

Prepare the dough

Transfer the mix to a bowl. Add 3 tbsp of non-dairy milk and mix with your hands. If the dough feels dry, add more milk one teaspoon at a time. The dough should be soft and pliable, not sticky. After five minutes of rest, gently knead to smooth.

Description - Step 3

Shape into balls

Sprinkle a little all-purpose flour if the dough is sticky. Roll small portions into smooth balls, around ½ inch in size if using an appe pan, or slightly bigger if deep-frying. Ensure there are no cracks, as this helps them cook evenly and stay juicy.

Description - Step 4

Cook the jamuns

Heat oil in an appe pan, adding 1 tsp oil to each cavity. Place the dough balls and cook on medium heat, turning every 15 seconds until golden brown. If deep-frying, keep the oil on medium heat and fry until evenly browned. Place the cooked balls on a paper-lined plate.

Description - Step 5

Make the sugar syrup

In a shallow pan, add water, sugar, cardamom, lemon juice, and saffron or rose water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then switch off the heat and let it cool slightly. The syrup should be warm, not boiling, when adding the jamuns.

Description - Step 6

Soak the jamuns

Gently place the fried jamuns into the warm syrup. Let them soak for five minutes, then reheat the syrup on low for another five minutes to help absorption. Allow the jamuns to rest in the syrup for at least an hour before serving, so they become soft and juicy.
