Gulab jamun mix pakoras, crispy pakoras made using left over gulab jamun mix, recipe with video and step by step pictures. Recently i made a cookery show for the promotion of a popular brand of gulab jamun mix. I was instructed to make Gulab jamun using the mix but i suggested instead of making that, which is very common, some interesting recipes with gulab jamun mix. The team was excited and i curated 3 recipes using Gulab jamun mix. The cookery demo was a super hit and the team was overwhelmed with the response.

Gulab jamun mix 1 cup
Besan | Kadalai maavu | gram flour 1/4 cup
Rice flour 1/4 cup
Onion 2
Carrot 2 tblsp (grated)
Capsicum 2 tblsp
Salt as needed
Green chili 2-3
Curry leaves few
Fennel seeds 1 tsp
Ginger a small piece
Garlic 1 clove
Oil for deep frying
Method :
- Grind the green chili, ginger, curry leaves and fennel seeds into a coarse paste.
- I added 2 chilis, you can add one or more extra as the gulab jamun mix gives a slight sweetish taste. (not too sweet)
- Do not add water while grinding.
- Slice the onions into thin long slices.
- Grate the carrots and finely chop the capsicum.
- In a wide bowl add the kadalai maavu(besan), rice flour and the gulab jamun mix.
- Add the ground green chili paste to this.
- Add in the onions, carrot and capsicum.
- Mix well and add salt.
- Sprinkle water and mix them well.
- Make a stiff dough.
- As we are adding the gulab jamun mix the dough will be slightly sticky only. So no need to worry.
- Heat the oil for deep frying.
- Once the oil is hot, bring it to medium flame.
- Take a small portion of dough and put in the oil.
- Do not over crowd the pan.
- Fry the pakodas on medium flame on both sides.
- Once it has become golden brown, take out from oil and drain the excess oil in the kitchen towel.
- Repeat the same for the rest of the dough.
- Crispy veg pakodas are ready.
Notes:
- You can keep the remaining dough in the refrigerator and use it later too.
- Red chili powder and little garam masala can be used instead of green chili.
- Finely chopped cabbage can also be added or veggies can be skipped too.
- These gulab jamun mix pakodas stays so crisp even after an hour of frying.
