Hey, did I just reveal the secret ingredient in the title itself ? I guess I did :)
I never knew the guessing games are soooo much fun, its almost addictive :) Thank you all who played along and made it this exciting for me. Most of you thought the jamuns were made using bread or potato/sweet potato , some even suggested paneer , rice, etc ....but after all those guesses no one could come up with the right ingredient... so its finally on me to announce that the key ingredient is Yogurt ...yes... Dahi (as its know in India).
Hung yogurt kneaded with flour n semolina n soaked in rose syrup... This is a very versatile recipe ...you can also try flavouring your jamuns with Vanilla but I like the traditional taste.If the Jamuns dont cook through till the centre you can make flat patties , like the one you would make for ras malai or cutlets and fry n then soak in syrup. Choice is yours. But overall this is a delightful recipe.
Ingredients:
For Jamuns:
1 C all-purpose flour,
1 C semolina,
1 C yogurt,
1 tbsp. ghee,
a pinch of baking powder,
1/2 tsp. cardamom pdr,
1/2 tsp. nutmeg powder,
oil/ ghee for frying.
For the syrup:
1 C sugar
oil/ ghee for frying.
For the syrup:
1 C sugar
1/4 C water
1 tbsp. rose water
Method:
Cover a colander with muslin or paper towel and let the yogurt drain overnight.
Sift together the flour, semolina, baking pdr, cardamom pdr and nutmeg pdr. Rub in the ghee. Add the hung yogurt and knead well. to a smooth dough. Cover and set aside for atleast 3-4 hrs.
Meanwhile make the syrup. Heat the sugar and water together till you get a single thread consistency. Let it cool slightly and add the rose water.
Heat oil, shape the jamuns and deep fry on medium heat until they turn golden brown. While the jamuns are still hot either soak them in the syrup or just drop in the syrup and take them out immediately.

Using dahi for Jamun is innovative indeed. Will try definitely, jazakallahu khair for sharing.
Woww fantastic, never thought of making jamuns with dahi, great work rahin..
Dear Rahin
Thats a great recipe and will try in next few days for sure. But I must say it still falls under the broad category of Maida ( flour)and Khoya ( solidified milk)Golap jamun...
Once in a while I knead Flour with Dahi to make some sweet paratha ...But the hung curd use is amazing!!
I can get the taste and the texture of this great Golap Jamun..
Will be waiting for more quiz from you and all the bloggies.
Have a nice weekend
