50 gms grated fresh paneer
2 tbsp maida
For the stuffing

Instructions

FOR THE GULABJAMUN
In a big thali or parat put together grated mawa , grated paneer and maida
Mix them nicely and with your palm knead it very well , until it becomes very smooth like a smooth textured dough
To test whether it is of right consistency , try to make a ball , if there are no cracks on the surface , it means it is of right consistency
The surface of the ball should be really smooth
In the meantime heat ghee in a heavy bottomed pan or kadai , which has handles will be of great help , first on high then make it low
Now start making balls from the mixture
Stuff 2-3 pieces of mishri and a strand of saffron in each ball
Simultaneously make sugar syrup in another pan by putting sugar and water , mix well
Cook on low heat , until one string consistency comes , then switch off the gas
Now slide slowly the ready balls in the hot ghee and hold the kadai with your hands and shake it slowly so that the gulabjamuns cooks properly and brown colour also comes evenly
Fry on low heat only , so that it cooks properly from inside also
When done nicely then put them directly in the sugar syrup
Always fry 4-5 gulabjamuns at one time
In this way make all the gulabjamuns
While serving them take out from the sugar syrup , cover with silver leaf and garnish with chopped pistachios
With this 16 pieces of gulabjamuns were made
