How to prepare Gulab Jamun recipe in Bachelors room!!

Gulab Jamun recipe with step by step photos

Gulab jamun literally translates to rose berries. Gulab means rose and jamuns are deep purple colored berries available in India. Since the syrup made is rose water scented and the deep fried dough balls are the size of jamun berries, hence the term Gulab Jamun.

Traditionally gulab jamuns are fries in ghee, you can go the traditional way if you want or just fry them in oil like I have done.

The whole trick is to get the right consistency in the gulab jamun dough. If you get it right, then making these gulab jamuns are a cakewalk and you won’t feel like buying them from outside….. since then it becomes an easy recipe. Please take note of step nos 5,6 and 7. I have mentioned all the tips and suggestions in the steps which can become a bit tricky, if not rightly done. 
So please take your time to read each step carefully. 

So lets begin the step by step gulab jamun recipe:

1) First stir the sugar, water and cardamom powder in a cooker bowl and keep it on fire. I have kept the cardamoms peels and these can be thrown away when serving the gulab jamuns.

2) Gently bring to a boil and continue to stir occasionally.

3) Make a thick syrup and switch off the fire much before the sugar solution reaches a one thread consistency. on cooling if the sugar syrup crystallizes, then just add 2 to 3 tbsp water and warm the syrup again. it will again return to a liquid state.

 4)  Mix the powder in a mixing bowl with oil/ghee.

5) Just mix everything lightly. add little of yogurt if the mixture looks dry. don’t over mix or knead. you don’t want gluten to form, so just mixing well is enough. the all purpose flour is just added to bind the mixture. if gluten forms then the dough balls become dense and won’t absorb any of the sugar syrup and the inside of gulab jamun will not be soft.

6) The mixture will be sticky but smooth. apply some oil on your palms and make small balls from the dough. These gulab jamun balls almost double when frying and also increase when soaked in the sugar syrup. So don’t make large sized balls.

There should be no cracks on the dough balls. they should be smooth. If there are cracks, then just add some 1 or 2 tsp of yogurt or milk to the mixture and continue making the balls. Once done, then cover the balls with a kitchen towel.

7)  Heat oil for deep frying in a kadai or a pan. When the oil becomes medium hot, lower the flame. add a small ball in the oil. The ball should slowly rise to the top from the bottom. If it does not rise then, the oil is not hot enough. If it rises quickly and browns also quickly, then the oil is too hot to fry.

If the small ball does not crack or break while frying, you are ok to proceed further. If it cracks, then just add some 1 or 2 tsp flour to the dough and form the balls again. in an ideal case, the gulab jamun ball should not crack and should rise slowly to the top and should not get browned quickly.

8) When you know the oil is hot enough and on a low flame, then add 3-4 balls or more depending on the capacity of your kadai or pan. The balls have to be stirred with a slotted spoon frequently to get even browning. If there are handles on the pan, you can just lightly shake the pan so that the balls are evenly fried without using the spoon. But take care as hot oil is there in the pan. the gulab jamun balls should also not become browned too soon. They have to be cooked from the insides too.

9) Keep on turning the gulab jamuns till they become golden. If the oil becomes cold, then don’t fry the gulab jamun balls. Increase the temperature and then fry. Otherwise the gulab jamuns would have a hard crisp thick cover when fried in a not so hot oil and they won’t absorb the sugar syrup plus they would absorb a lot of oil too.

10) When the gulab jamuns are evenly golden and browned, remove from the slotted spoon and add them directly into the sugar syrup. Keep the gulab jamuns in the sugar syrup for atleast 1-2 hours before serving. This is done so that the gulab jamun soaks up the sugar syrup which will make the insides soft and sweet. Thats why in the sweet shops, the gulab jamun are always soaked in sugar syrup.

If you feel the gulab jamuns are not soaking in the sugar syrup, then warm the whole gulab jamuns along with the sugar syrup on stove top or in the microwave. Cover and keep aside. Just warm them, don’t heat.

11) Gulab jamuns can be served warm or cold. If they are at room temperature, then warm in the microwave and serve the gulab jamun topped with sugar syrup.

The Google search query that led to a job at Google

"Python lambda function list comprehension," Max Rosett typed in a Google search query and what happened next ended in Rosett getting a job offer from the tech giant.

Rosett, who after being a management consultant and working for a startup was honing his computing skills through Georgia Tech's online Master's in computer science program. While working on a project, Rosett googled the search query and the search results page folded up to ask him, "You're speaking our language. Up for a challenge?"

Not knowing what it would lead to, Rosett took up the challenge that took him to a page that asked him to solve a series of programming problems. After a couple of weeks of solving those problems the page asked him for his contact information and a few days later he got an email asking for his resume.

What followed was Google's much-documented recruiting process and at the end of it Rosett had a job offer from Google that he "enthusiastically accepted".

In a post on The Hustle, Rosett says that though he had the software skills he lacked the confidence to apply for an engineering role but Google thought otherwise." I thought I wasn't ready to apply for a job at Google. Google disagreed," he says in the post.

Rosett's experience reveals one of the many secret ways in which Google's recruiting process works.

Happy Raksha Bandhan 2015

Raksha Bandhan festival is one of the most important festivals in India. Rakhi ceremony is celebrated in each year on the month of August which is the month of Shravan according to the Hindu calendar. This ceremony takes place on the full moon day of Shravan. For a major part of India, Raksha Bandhan festival is an effort to strengthen the bondage between siblings. On this propitious day, a sister ties the thread of Rakhi to her brother's wrist so that her brother can enjoy prosperity in life. On the other hand, the brother promises to protect his sister from all possible difficulties of life. Rakhi is an emblem of love and protection. The sacred thread of Rakhi acts to bond brothers and sisters and it intends to signify a harmonious relation between people. 

Rakhi is a Monsoon Festival
Rakhi celebration is the festival of monsoon. This monsoon festival has a deeper meaning. The rainy season eliminates all the dirt and complexities of life and presents us prosperity and new hope to enjoy life to the fullest. That is why the Hindus consider the month of Shravan as holy one to celebrate the pure bondage of love between siblings and arrival of good fortune. 

Significance of Rakhi Festival for Farmer Community
The ceremony of 'Shravani', organized on the day of Rakhi Purnima has special significance for the farmer community of different parts of India. A good harvesting season depends on adequate rain water. Monsoon is the best time to get sufficient water for farming activities. So farmers of the states like Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Bihar worship soil for its fertility. 

Significance of Rakhi Festival for Fishing Community
As far as the fishing community of India is concerned, the Rakhi festival has greater significance for them. States like Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and Karnataka observe the celebration of Rakhi festival or it is better to say the celebration of 'Nariyal Purnima' through different rituals. For their livelihood, the fishing community completely depends on the sea. The monsoon season has a positive effect on sea water as well as on fish. Therefore, for these people, celebration of 'Nariyal Purnima' is an effort to please God Varuna, the deity of water and the ocean by offering the sea coconuts on this event for their better earning prospect.

Rakhi Purnima- A New Beginning of Life
The season of monsoon also signifies destruction. It destroys all that are unnecessary and have no usage. It eradicates unwanted elements from nature and from human lives. It also marks a new beginning to pave the way for prosperity. This is the reason why people from Gujarati community celebrate 'Pavitropana' through worshipping Lord Shiva, the symbol of destruction, on the day of Shravan Purnima. They pray to Lord Shiva for a prosperous future on this special occasion.

Rakhi is the Celebration of Change
The rainy season of Shravan also indicates change. Change or alteration is necessary to pave the way for a new one. So Brahmin communities in the states like Andhra Pradesh, Keala, Tamil Nadu and certain parts of Orissa observe the day of Shravan Purnima as 'Upakamam' and on that day they change their threads .


In short, one can observe the true spirit of Indian festivals through the celebration of this event on the season of monsoon.

20 years of Internet in India

20 ways the Internet has changed how we do things:

Remember the time, that now appears to be long ago, when you would allocate different times of the day to different tasks? Mornings were usually reserved for buying fresh groceries, and certain afternoons of the month were fixed to pay the monthly dues. Job seekers would start their day waiting eagerly for the newspaper vendor and the postman ringing the bell stirred up emotions. Children couldn't afford to miss on outdoor games in the evening. That was a period when we wouldn't mind investing all our energies and spend all our time in making hand-made cards for our special ones. Every day was full of a lot of activity and variety.

But the times have changed. While the chores haven't changed, we now do them in a different (and more convenient), courtesy the Internet.

As public Internet in India completes 20 years, we attempt to take you back in time to show how we now do the things that we did then.

1. Shopping

There was a time when the number of shopping bags defined our happiness. But the concept of placing orders online has changed the way we now look at the very idea of shopping (and window shopping). Now the discounts and speed of delivery are the measures of our happiness.

2. Playing games

Evening for kids were once incomplete without playing outdoor games or loitering around with friends in park, but now the mobile phone is both a friend as well as a field for kids and grown-ups alike.

3. Job hunting

A few scrolls or a couple of clicks may now get you a job, but there were times when people would comb through newspapers for openings.

4. Communication

The joy of writing letters is incomparable. Internet may have made communication faster and easier, but many of us still miss sending and receiving handwritten letters.

5. Photo albums

Photos were once no less than prized possessions and were carefully preserved. Today, the ample storage in our smartphones and a spate of free cloud storage services available have changed our habit of taking and preserving photos.

6. Research

Research, lost in a maze of books inside a library, is an experience that many of the new generation would perhaps never experience.

7. Banking

There was a time when banks meant long queues. Now the bank is on your palm.

8. Bill payments

One of the most dreary of tasks has been made simpler and smoother thanks to the Internet.

9. Grocery shopping

This is a change which is happening now and happening fast.

10. Reading newspapers/magazines

Not too long ago, so many of us would start our day reading the newspaper while sipping morning tea, and now with news apps, Facebook updates and tweets the dedicated habit of newspaper and magazine reading is becoming a thing of the past.

11. Radio

The Internet has revived the radio. Now it is called music streaming.

12. Audio cassettes

Remember how we would spend hours selecting and jotting down your favourites songs to be recorded on a blank cassette? The Internet has killed the audio cassette and also the music CD.

13. Taxi

Cab hailing is becoming more and more associated with taps of fingers than waving of hands.

14. Renting video cassettes

Release of a new movie in the past would mean waiting for it to be available at the nearest VHS rental stores. When was the last time you had rented one?

15. Asking for an address

We earlier had simple opportunities to strike a conversation with strangers. Pointing to an address on a slip, many of us have used this statement, "Bhaisahab, ye kahan padega?" And the reply would come somehow like, "Aage se daaye, fir T-point se baayein, aur fir seedha jaake..." Now the staccato voice from the navigation app shows us the way.

16. Exam results

You, perhaps, still can't express those mixed feelings of tension and excitement that you would have while scanning through result sheets at notice board. Now you can rejoice and grief in the privacy of a mobile phone.

17. Hand-made cards

Festivals and anniversaries had that touch of the hand. From crayons to water colors to sketch pens, we put them to good use to express our wishes on folded paper.

18. Love proposals

The Internet has saved the suitor the awkwardness of approaching the love interest.

19. Railway tickets

Getting the railway bookings done for a vacation was an adventure in itself. Remember how you would wake up early in the morning to be the first in the queue?

20. Sleep

The Internet may have simplified much of our lives but has also turned us into voluntary insomniacs.
