Cardamom Saffron Simple Syrup

1. 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

1. 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 

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast and sugar. Whisk together and let it sit for 5-7 mins.
2. Add both packets of gulab jamun mix along with, flour, milk. ground cardamom, melted butter and rose water. Once you have everything mixed and it’s formed into a dough cover the bowl with a towel for 10 mins.
3. In the meantime, heat up some oil for frying on med/low heat, I like to use avocado oil.
4. Roll out the dough and use a circle cookie cutter to even a cup to make the donut shape. Poke out a hole in the middle using a small circle cutter. 
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 20 minute. Once they have been soaked, drizzle the rose glaze and enjoy!
