Last week my kiddo was down with flu and cold wanted to give some chicken soup.As we make the chicken soup with boned chicken  got a big pack of chicken drumstick which is more for 3 of us.After making the soup for couple of days wanted to try something  with the remained drumsticks but not in a mood to make biriyani or Tandoori chicken.Suddenly got the idea of making fry with it which I had it in my sister's place last time to pair it with rasam for dinner.It was a so delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly and made in less than 30 minutes.The only thing is chicken needs to be marinated for atleast 4-5 hours.I marinated the chicken in the morning and made it in the evening,now on to the recipe....................

This is my 200th post and want to share our family's favorite sweet Gulab jamun.Before getting into the recipe I would like to thank ally readers and friends for the constant support and encouragement. Originally gulab jamun is made with fresh khoya by condensing the milk to a solid consistency.After that a considerable amount of all purpose flour is mixed to form a soft dough.The dough is made into cute ball and deep fried in the ghee then dunked into cardamom or rose flavored sugar syrup.After soaking an hour or two delicious juicy gulab jamuns will be ready to dig in.It can be eaten as such or served it along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it more tasty.
