Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Vegan yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Rose water
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and baking powder.
Add the vegan yogurt, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and almond milk to the dry ingredients.
Mix the ingredients well until it forms a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add cardamom powder and rose water to the sugar syrup. Let it simmer on low heat while you prepare the jamuns.
After resting, divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth, round ball.
Heat the remaining cup of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Gently place the dough balls into the oil and fry them until they are golden brown, making sure to turn occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the fried balls with a slotted spoon and immediately place them into the warm sugar syrup.
Allow the gulab jamuns to soak in the syrup for at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure they are fully impregnated with syrup.
Serve the dairy-free gulab jamuns warm topped with a sprinkle of cardamom powder or chopped nuts, if desired.
