Instructions
Cardamom Saffron Simple Syrup
- In a sauce pan, add the water, sugar, rose water, cardamon pods and saffron. Bring to a low simmer until sugar is dissolved and you are developing a syrup like consistency. This will take 7-10 mins.
Rose Glaze
- Mix everything together until there are no lumps and you have a smooth consistency. Set aside until donuts are ready to be glazed.
Gulab Jamun Donut
- In a bowl, combine both packets of gulab jamun mix along with, flour, milk and rose water. Once you have everything mixed and it’s formed into a dough cover the bowl with a tea towel for 10 mins.
- In the meantime, heat up some oil for frying on med/low heat.
- Fry the donuts until golden brown and place on a cooling rack until all the donuts are fried.
- Place them in the rose syrup to soak. Let them soak for at least 1 hr, but best if you can let them soak for 2 hrs. Once they have been soaked, drizzle the rose glaze and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use almond or oat milk in sub for regular milk in the rose glaze for a vegan/dairy free option.
- I garnished the donuts with chopped pistachio and dried rose petals after I drizzled the glaze so they would stick well to the donuts. Be creative and garnish with what you like !
