Notes

Shilpi’s Quick Tricks
  • You can knead the gulab jamun dough with either with water or milk. I prefer adding milk as it gives richer taste.
  • Make sugar syrup in big vessel so that gulab jamun get enough space to expand in the sugar syrup.
  • Sugar syrup should be boiled for almost 12-15 minutes. Once it becomes thick switch off the heat. You can also taste it, it should not taste watery.
  • you can add saffron strands or elaychi powder for more taste in syrup.
  • Make sure there are no cracks in the balls otherwise they will not cook evenly and will also break in sugar syrup.
  • Put the gulab jamun in warm sugar syrup. If syrup is cold gulab jamun will not absorb, if it’s too hot gulab jamun skin will come out.
