Eggless Gulab Jamun/Gulab Jamun Using Milk Powder Recipe


Today is the 10 th of November and time for our MFB challenge.But this time there's a difference because this would be the last  MFB Challenge.A beautiful challenge which ran for almost 3 years.Anyways,today's theme was to select any one from all those themes done in this year,it could be the one you missed or you can repeat any.I chose the one from which I missed ..'Your Favorite Mom Food'
A few other themes I participated are :
Shirini Kishmishi-Iranian Raisins Cookies
Pomegranate Pineapple Salad
Sweet Corn Chicken Soup
Coffee Milkshake
Omelette Cheese Sandwich
As such I enjoy all the food my umma cooks specially her Desserts and Biriyani.I remember when we were young how we loved eating Gulab jamuns.But it would be either from some bakeries or Dad's North Indian friends home parties.But then Umma started preparing and we used to finish it off so quickly.There used to be a beautifully designed glass jar and she used to store gulab jamuns in that and it would be on the dining table.I and my siblings have a sweet tooth from my dad and his relatives side,where they all loved kheers,sweets desserts and his sisters used to have an extra spoon of sugar in their tea and juices too.But we don't like our tea and coffee that sweet.My mother is someone who doesn't like sweets.She is not that interested in juices and rather prefer eating those fruits.She had to take sweets often forcefully when her sugar level goes down. 
You can double the ingredients for more quantity.Now over to the recipe:

-Meanwhile prepare the dough for the jamuns.In a bowl add the Milk powder,baking soda,Semolina and the flour.Mix well.
-Add ghee to it and mix well.Now add the yogurt little by little to form a smooth  dough.The dough should not be dry or it will have cracks while rolling.
-Now pinch out equal portions and roll into small smooth balls.
-Heat oil in a kadayi.When hot(not smoky hot) fry these balls on medium heat.It should cook well inside,so keep the flame on medium low.Keep stirring lightly to cook it uniformly
