How to make this Gulgula Recipe:

Ingredients

1½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup jaggery (gud)
1 tsp fennel seeds/saunf
¼ tsp cardamom powder (elaichi)
¼ tsp baking powder
Cooking oil for frying
1 cup Water – lukewarm(optional)
Salt to taste

Step-by-Step Preparation Gulgula/Gulgule Recipe:

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, grated jaggery, fennel seeds, cardamom powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

While kneading the mixture, gradually add lukewarm water. Start mixing and continue adding water as needed until you achieve a batter that is slightly thicker than the traditional pakoda batter. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can lead to the formation of gluten, resulting in a thick texture.

Heat cooking oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready for frying, drop a small portion of the batter into the oil. If it rises to the surface continuously, the oil is hot enough to start frying.

Ensure that the oil is hot but not smoking, as excessively hot oil can cause the batter to stick to the pan.

Using a spoon, carefully drop dollops of the batter into the hot oil, allowing them to fry. It’s essential not to overcrowd the pan; typically, you can fry 8 to 12 dumplings at a time, depending on the size of your pan or kadai.

Let the dumplings fry until they turn light golden from the bottom and sides. They will puff up as they fry. Gently flip each dumpling to ensure even frying.

Maintain medium heat throughout the frying process; if the oil is too hot, the outer layer may brown quickly while the inside remains undercooked.

Fry the dumplings until they are uniformly crisp and golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on kitchen paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process in two to three batches for the remaining dumplings.

Once fried to perfection, enjoy the dumplings while they’re hot or store them in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.

Your journey to creating the most exquisite gulgula ends here, but the indulgence is just beginning. Allow the gulgulas to cool slightly before sharing them with your loved ones.
