Gulab Jamun Donuts

1. In a bowl, combine the GIT’s packet along 1 tsp baking powder and the amount of water it calls for on the back of the package.. Once you have everything mixed and it’s formed into a dough cover the bowl with a tea towel for 10 mins.
2. In the meantime, heat up some oil for frying on med/low heat.
3. Roll out your dough 1/2 inch thick, you don’t want to roll it out too thin because it will result into some flat donuts.
4. Using a round cookie cutter, press down firmly and cut your donut rounds! Using the back end of a piping tip to make the center hole for your donuts. Repeat and reuse the dough to make more donuts until you have no more dough!
5. Fry the donuts until golden brown and place on a cooling rack until all the donuts are fried.
6. 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!
