Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh and soft Khoya is the absolute secret to achieving the traditional texture of Gulab Jamun.
- The temperature of the frying oil must be very low; high heat will brown the outside while leaving the center raw.
- Ensuring the sugar syrup is warm (not boiling) when adding the jamuns is mandatory for maximum juice absorption.
- Adding a pinch of baking soda provide the essential sponginess that allows the syrup to penetrate to the core.
