“Cooking requires confident guesswork and improvisation– experimentation and substitution, dealing with failure and uncertainty in a creative way”
Creating a recipe is not an easy job….a lot of hard work and experimentation is involved in this, my recipe today is also a creation but not mine…..lol. Its a creation of my Teacher…Chef Ashok Kumar Raj.I have tried this recipe and simply loved it…:)
First i am giving you my Teacher’s recipe and then i will give you my own version blended with my teacher’s creation…:)
INGREDIENTS:
Vanilla icecream | a large pack |
Gulab jamuns | as requried |
Chocolate syrup | as needed |
Coffee granules for making bitters | 1 tsp |
Chat masala powder | 1/4 tsp |
choco flakes | for garnish |
METHOD:
- Take or make small gulab jamuns of very small size then freeze them.
- First make coffee bitters by roasting coffee granules on a pre heated pan. They will become black and more bitter.
- Take a transparent glass or bowl then pour Chocolate sauce inside the walls of glass, rotate to coat syrup .
- Keep the ice cream on heated place /near stove so that it can be soft enough to take a glass shape.
- But hard enough to support jamuns so that they do not sink in the ice cream.
- Add a spoon full icecream to the glass and then add 1-2 gulab jamuns ,now sprinkle chat masala or mango powder and coffee bitters , again add icecream and then gulab jamuns.
- Keep on layering till reach top of the glass and increase number of jamuns as you go higher.
- Last layer of ice cream should be lumpy and your jamuns should be half sink in ice cream.Freeze this.
- Sprinkle coffee bitters, chat masala powder and choco flakes ,before serving.
- Enjoy this super tasty dessert.
I have followed Chef’s instruction but instead of using bitters, i have used cocoa powder because i don’t like bitter taste of coffee…:) in my picture you will not see choco flakes but believe me the crunchi flavor of flakes will enhance the taste of your dessert.
