One fine day, while scrolling
through insta, I came across a giveaway contest by one of the fellow
instagramers . The challenge went something like this- An Indian
traditional dessert with a twist. And I went WOW! It sounded like a very interesting
challenge. So Tharu and I got thinking about something unique when she came up
with GULAB JAMUN WAFFLES. This dish is actually based on the
legendary Gulab Jamun and Vanilla Ice cream combo. So here’s the twist- instead
of Gulab Jamun, we have waffles.
The waffles are made out of
readymade Jamun mix. They are crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The
waffles are coated with sugar syrup and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice
cream and a whole lot of chopped nuts. This was a very unique dish and a super
hit with my kids. And I must say, it
tastes divinely. I would like to thank my sweet neighbour Sweta Rao
for lending me her waffle maker. After the success of this dish, we have
started to believe that we too can be recipe developers. What do you think? 😉
Preparation time: 5 minutes| Cooking time: 15 to 20 minutes
Course: Dessert| Cuisine: Fusion
Ingredients:
For waffles:
Readymade jamun mix- 1 cup
Milk- 2 cups
Unsalted butter- 2 tblsp
For sugar syrup:
Sugar- 1 cup
Water- 1 cup
For topping:
Vanilla ice cream
Chopped almonds- a handful
Method:
1. Heat 2 cups of milk and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to it. Stir well.
2. Pour this over 1 cup of readymade jamun mix. Mix completely without lumps.
3. Heat the waffle maker. Grease both the sides( top and bottom of waffle maker) with a generous amount of unsalted butter.
4. Pour the prepared Jamun mix batter evenly on both sides. Drizzle melted butter on top. Close and cook it for 3-4 minutes or until done.
5. Open, leave it for a couple of minutes and remove the waffles without breaking them. Keep them aside
6. Heat water in a vessel and when it starts boiling, add the sugar. Let it melt completely. Boil for 10 minutes. Sugar syrup is ready.
7. Before serving, pour the hot sugar syrup over the waffle. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a handful of nuts.
8. Enjoy!
Notes:
Adding unsalted butter to the
hot milk is very important. Otherwise the batter might stick to the waffle
maker and you will have a tough time taking it out.
Grease the waffle maker
generously with butter, and pour the batter only when the waffle maker is hot.
Give some resting time before
removing the waffle, after it is cooked, so that it doesn’t break.
Pour the sugar syrup just
before serving. Or else it might turn soggy.
