Gulab Jamun with a Twist

This innovative take on the classic Gulab Jamun combines the traditional flavors of cardamom and rose with a modern, low-carb approach. These soft, syrup-soaked dumplings are made with a unique blend of ingredients that keep them sweet and satisfying while being vegetarian and nut-free, making them a delightful dessert for all to enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup low-carb flour (such as almond flour or coconut flour)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened yogurt
• 1/4 cup sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 1/4 cup rose water
• 1 cup water
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the low-carb flour, yogurt, baking powder, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
2. Divide the dough into small balls, ensuring they are smooth and free of cracks.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the dough balls, frying them until they turn golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. In a separate saucepan, combine water and sugar substitute, bringing it to a boil. Add rose water and cook for an additional 5 minutes to create a syrup.
5. Once the fried balls are cool, soak them in the warm syrup for at least 30 minutes before serving to absorb the flavors.
