I was in search of a good receipy for gulab jamuns and for that I saw so many videos at you tube and Google but all in vain. Tried a lot but every time when I put them into singer syrup after few seconds they schrinked. Today I tried your receipt and they come out perfect. They were soft and delicious.I followed your receipy exactly and thanks that you gave measurements in grams also.I made my Dow and than I left my Dow for sometime in a plastic bag on my kitchen counter. Almost after an hour I scrambled the Dow and than add little more milk and kneaded. In short your receipy is super.

Your review and tips will be definitely useful for other people who try this recipe. Yes the dough will be bit sticky and it is also another hint to softness. Thanks for reading and analysing the recipe deeply, that's a secret to successful recipes. And thank you so much for the appreciations, feeling so much motivated :) Glad you liked the recipe and do keep visiting and supporting!!

It came out HARD!<br />Today I tried again. This time I studied your recipe and other recipe and it came out great! <br />I still used self raising flour, but added the soda and slightly less than 1/4 tsp baking powder.<br />This time, once milk is added to make the sticky dough, I again had left over milk. But I kept the dough for about 20 mins. Then the dough dried up and was smooth. I added more milk to make sure the dough was sticky again. I truly feel this is the reason why it came out nice! Used the ghee and rolled into small balls. And they were perfect. <br />Thank you so much I really appreciate your effort in giving measurements in grams instead of cups. The only website that did that.....I searched all over! Bottom line, make sure your dough is sticky before frying, if dough is not moist and sticky add milk then apply ghee! Thanks again.<br /><br />Premnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615353642326436394.post-8254699804669860542013-10-06T16:46:06.257+05:302013-10-06T16:46:06.257+05:30Hi Jina :) Thanks for trying it out and letting me...Hi Jina :) Thanks for trying it out and letting me know how much you loved it!!

You can read the above comment she had followed the same recipe and got it soft but hers cracked, so it all depends on the ingredients you use, the way you knead.

There are many reasons why the ball could have cracked. Basic reason for the balls to crack and disperse in oil is the amount of baking soda might have been too much. If so balls may crack and disperse in oil, but I guess your's just cracked so there might be other reasons too. Sometimes kneading a little more (not too much) will help you get smoother dough, also while rolling the balls check for crack if there are any, roll again and see that no big cracks. Temperature of the oil is also important here, If oil is not hot enough then the balls may crack. While frying, the balls should be handled with care, fry them in a low flame and turn them very gently. Next time try reducing the amount of baking soda, also check the oil temperature and see that your balls do not have big cracks before frying. Hope this will help you get perfectly shaped Gulab Jamuns!! <br /><br />Thanks for trying and do let me know if you have any more doubts!!Divya Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421160167445516566noreply@blogger.com
