Notes
Don't knead the dough much as it will make the gulab jamun harder. Also gently make the balls without any cracks.
Fry in medium to low flame as otherwise jamun will become darker and not cooked inside.
You can add rose essence to syrup for more flavor.
Allow it to soak overnight for jamuns to become double and nicely absorb the sugar syrup.
Use good quality milk powder.
