People often use ready-made mixes from the market to make gulab jamuns. However, you'll get a more confectionery-like taste from gulab jamuns made with milk powder. The right combination of milk powder, flour, and baking powder makes them soft and juicy.

Two things are crucial for perfect gulab jamuns: first, the correct proportion of dry ingredients, and second, the correct kneading of the dough. If the dough is too stiff or too soft, the jamuns will either break or remain raw inside.

Gulab Jamun dough should always be soft and crack-free. Avoid over-stretching the dough, and use a little milk if needed. When forming the jamuns, lightly apply a little ghee to your palms to ensure smooth balls.

The role of the syrup is equally important. Avoid making the syrup one or two strings thick, but keep it slightly sticky and thin. Place the fried jamuns in lukewarm syrup, not hot, so they can absorb the juices properly.

When frying berries, pay special attention to the heat. Always keep the gas on low to medium flame and gently stir the berries in the oil or ghee. Jamuns fried on high heat tend to brown on the outside and remain raw on the inside.

After dipping the gulab jamuns in the syrup, let them sit for at least two hours. Over time, they become softer, juicier, and more delicious. Adding cardamom and rose water enhances the aroma and will have everyone licking their fingers.
