Hello Manjula ji I have used this receipt and it turns out perfect each time thank you Harpal, Thank you, makes me happy to hear that Hi Manjula ji, My gulab jamuns are not soaking the syrup.

Can you please share the recipe of GLUTEN FREE Gulab Jamuns ? Or just tell me which flour to be used instead of Maida? Thanks Parul Parul I have been trying but no good result Hi Manjula! I was reading this personā€™s comment and mine did the same way . Can you give me some tips on how to avoid from breaking and how much oil is used for frying? Samina, frying pan should have about one inch of oil. If dough is too dry or if use too much baking soda gulab jamuns can brake. Hi, I made these last night, and they looked perfect on the outside. I let them soak in syrup all night, and tried one this morning. The outside is perfect, but the center hasnā€™t absorbed syrup at all and seems too dry. What did I do wrong? Did I add too much milk? Too little? I made the dough so it was a bit sticky but rolled into balls very easily. Lalia, Gulab jamun should be fried on low heat if oil is hot they will not cooked from inside and will stay dry. When I made this recipeā€¦it was a total flop. The gulab jamuns while frying started to break up. When I put them in the syrup ā€¦they became like very soggy. I think the porpotions for the butter and allpurpose flour are not correct. Karen, I think too much baking soda Can you please tell in terms of tsp. how much is pinch of soda In this post I like the tips and variation in making gulab jamun. Everyone should follow those tips for getting better and well shaped gulab jamun. Hi manjula I made the gulab jamun twice Once when I prepared the jamuns and placed in warm syrup all the skin of the jamuns peeled off in the syrup and they looked too oily the syrup Again I made them they turned out too hard and while I was beating the dough oil was oozing a lot out of the dough I had put 3 tbsp butter but donā€™t know why? pls let me know where I went wrong Thks Lavi nice madam, can we use desi ghee instead of makhan. & what qty we used here. Sonia, you may use ghee just little less the butter. Ps tell me how to make veg steam dumplingss. Hi Manjula ji, I love your recipes.. I recently tried rasgullas and they turned out very well.

I Tried making gulab jamub and posted in http://www.mixandcook.com/recipe/3. Please review i tried making gulab jamuns ,tasted well but could u plz tell me why they broke up in chachni after some time.they didnt remain intact.why? I canā€™t wait to try this recipe, I love gulab jamun! But can you substitute ghee for the unsalted butter? i am a boy, and i cooked thisā€¦. (i am a proffesional chef, a bit young, but i am at a hotel.) ā€¦.. and my family liked it. madam baking soda & baking powder are same thing or different??? plz reply Baking powder is a mixture of Baking soda, Cream of Tarter, Corn Starch. They are not the same thing and when baking, should not be confused with one another. Hi Manjula, We always watch your videos of veg.dishes and desserts. really appreciate on what you do. thank you. Hi, Manjula. Iā€™ve tried several gulab jamun recipes and my family agrees that yours is the best. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Colette I am curious if I could make this with a replacement flour (like quinoa or sorghum), coconut oil (instead of vegetable/canola), and xylitol (instead of sugar). We donā€™t eat gluten or regular sugar much at all. I know the coconut oil would work because I use it all the time. What do you think about replacing the other items? Hi madam, I like your website so much. Iā€™ve tried rasagulla and so many items, and it came well. But gulab-jamun gor so hard inside, can we correct it, or is there any recipe to do something with that harden gulabjamun. Because i dont want to waste it. Thank you. With regards, Priya. Priya You must have fried the jamuns on high heat but any way cut them in small pieces and serve them with chocolate sauce or with vanilla ice cream. where i can get milk powder?? shital Grocery store keep in baking area. if i donā€™t put butter is it ok??? Nice, can we make this without using milk powder and replacing it with milk? Nice recipes.Need Baklawa recipe. tastes awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Manjula aunty.I love all your recipes and have tried out many,which were a grand success.But when i tried gulab jamun,the syrup which i makes always becomes a flop.either it turns out too watery or it turns out being a too thick,sticky paste. Could you please tell me what would be the reason?how to make the syrup-like at which flame(med,hi or low),for how many minutes exact and should the sugar be mixed with spoon as soon as added in the pan?or should it be allowed to dissolve while boiling? It would be of great help if you replied to my mail,at the earliest.Hope to hear from you soon.Thank you aunty. Bincy, After syrup comes to boil, boil it for 1 more minute over medium heat. hi aunti i always make gulabjamun from ur recipe they came really gudā€¦but i have a question insted of butter can i use shortening plz reply me DEEPTI I will not advice that, use butter. I use heavy cream instead of using butter and milk..two spoons of heavy cream are good to make dough from 1 cup milk power Hi dear Manjula anty, Thanks for your reply last time, I did try to make with Whole Milk Powder, it works, after few days, I got non-fat milk powder and then I made again, so I found out that the big different is the texture of Gulab Jamun, absolutely, the one I made with non-fat milk Powder is better, so here I have one more question is, I m very curious is in India how they sell Gulab Jamun, is by weight or pieces, and how much? Please reply~Thank you!! Hi Manjula Ji, The recipe turned out delicious but the jamuns were a bit hard from outside. Can u please tell me what mistake i made? Thanks a lot Hi Manjula Anty, Can I use Whole Milk Powder instead of nonfat Milk Powder? Pls reply~Thank you! Bonbon I have never tried aunty can u give the measurements if I have to prepare gulab jamuns with Khoya Dear manjula, I read in your recipe you uses for instance ā€˜1 cupā€™ of ā€˜1/4 cupā€™, I would like to know how much mililiter or grams this is. Thank you! 1 cup is 250g of dry measure or roughly 250mL of liquid (water). You should be able to find measuring cups that are already of these sizes 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/4 cup, etc. Thank you William. Could you or Manjula also tell me how much grams a tablespoon and theaspoon is? Hi, I made gulab jamun yesterdayā€¦with just one variation,instead of using butter i used the same amount of ghee in them. They turned out hard and were not even soaking the sugar syrup! what could have gone wrong? about the baking sodaā€¦a pinch would be around 1/8th tsp? Vid, maybe the dough for the gulab jamun was too dry and needed more milk, which would have made it moist. Yes, the pinch would be that amount. This recipe turned out perfect Gulab Jamuns! I didnā€™t have the patience to make my own khuva, and so using milk powder made it much easier. They tasted delicious šŸ™‚ This was the first time I have ever tried deep frying anything, and I was very happy with the results. easy recipe too Will the syrup and jamun loose its taste if it is sealed in a plastic cover? Cuz, I have tried it and I had seen they become bitter. Can you suggest how to avoid this? what brand of powder milk u chose to use for this recepie? rabia I use local brand from Vons grocery store. Hi Aunty You are saying 10 in the video but written recipe says 20. Rekha I managed to make 17 of them from this recipe, rolled into one inch balls. they doubled in size for me I made about 16 and they grew in size to roughly 1 inch diameter. Hi manjula Aunty. I really love all your recipies. I recently tried out this Gulab Jamun one and they turned out very well except they were just a little bit dry from the inside. I let them soak in the syrup for nearly an hour but they were still very dry. Can you please tell me what I could have done wrong? Hello Manjula, I am very happy that you show the secrets of indian food so well. I could prepare the gulabs jamuns hier in Germany (I am brazilian) and it are very tasty. Thanks a lot for your receipt. Namaste. hi manjula aunty, i i am a small cook from south side who loves to try different types of recipes.i made gulab jamuns but the jamuns turned to be hardā€¦but i dont understand what went wrong can u please tell me.was it too much of baking soda or butter?Iā€™d really be thankful to u..thanks aloot for ur delicious mouthwatering recipes. Mehroofa, I think when you fried them oil must be very hot, need to fry them on low heat. thanks for your awesome easy and delicious recipes. You make things so easier. Hi aunty! Iā€™m a south Indian and have just started trying recipes on my own. THANK YOU so much for ur gulab jamun recipe. They turned out PERFECT the first time i made them and everyone loved them. But the next 2 times i made them,they were a disaster. The texture of the dough was sticky like in my first try but when i put them in the oil,they stayed intact but started peeling off on the surface. Despite this i went ahead n put them in the syrup after they cooled and they became soggy n lost their shape pretty fast. The first time i made them,they had stayed perfectly in shape no matter how long they were in the syrup. Could this happen if i use too much butter? Or maybe bcoz i used a different round bottomed wok for frying instead of the flat bottomed pan I used the first time? Does that really matter?? Any idea on what i did wrong? Iā€™d really appreciate ur help!! THANKS SO MUCH again for the videos n ur wonderful recipes!! Tina, It can be too much butter or too much baking soda. Ohh okā€¦Thank you so much for your quick reply! Hi Manjula, I have a question. Can use the same sugar-syrup as I use for making Jalebis? So I can make both, Gulab Jamun and Jalebis, at the same time. Greetings, Dominic Dominic, Yes you can. Namaste Aunty ! I made this Gulab jamumn today and it was wonderful..got lot of compliments too..tasted just like restaurants..:) Thanks a tone ! u made my day ! Thank you for all recipes. Iā€™m brazilian but i love India and all indian recipes. I was born in a city in Brazil where some Indians live and since I spent little to admire and want to have those same customs as being born in Brazil Iā€™ve felt like I was part of India can not explain then only did I follow the customs and here in Brazil but alive like India. In Brazil is still a little hard to find the ingredients of Indian recipes, but your site has helped me to prepare all those recipes you taught us. Thank you. hi manjula aunty ji, i hope you are fine. thank you for all of your awsome recipes, i have succeeded in impressing my mum-in-law all because of you. so BIG thanks for that. i have one question, aunty ji. could i use semi skimmed milk powder instead of non fat to make gulab jamuns? it is for rakhi tomorrow. i dont have time to go to big market but they sell semi skimmed milk powder in small market close to my home??? aunty can we use ghee instead of butter Divya, If you are using ghee donā€™t melt the ghee and use little less then butter, I have never used so I canā€™t give you exect amount. Hello Manjula aunty, Im planing to make this and was thinking if I can use the Regular milk powder that I already had or should I get a non-fat milk powder? Also, can I just use a pinch of Ground cardamom (powder form) or I should use cardamom seed as specified in the recipe? Thank you! Seems like Manjula aunty is too busy to respondā€¦Is there anyone out there that could help? I am desperate to know so I could make it as soon as possible..thanks!! JY I have never used used regular milk I am late in replying I visited the groceryn store but I did not find regular milk powder. may be you can try a small batch and see how it works and let us know. I think use little bit less butter. I found it one of the best website for indian dishes.. I made this but I think I may have used too much baking soda. Do you have an exact measurement? I wanna make these Iā€™m just not sure about the oil.. how much do I have to pour in? about 2 cups? Can someone specify the correct measurements of the ingredients please. Manjulaji please specify.thanks Swa, which ingredient measurements are not clear? Actually I wanted the peda measurements not gulag jamun Thankssssss alottttttā€¦. i made it today for the first time in my life and used ur recipe and it turn out awsomeee <3ā€¦ā€¦ thanks alot I am going to try this recipe in my home this week.. thanks for your good suggestions of preparationā€¦ Thank you very much for sharing this fantastic recipe. The jamuns turn out great, time after time! Canā€™t thank you enough. Dear mam, Today i made jamoons as per your measurements ( first time i made with milk powder). Wow really iam very happy to see ( taste) jamoons my hubby never likes sweets( today he ate 5 jamoons.), It is very soft like new born baby cheeks. I never get like this jamoons even i made by readymade mix. Thanks a lot. Regards, Sakthi. Dear Manjula Aunty, I have been using my home made khoya. The Gulab Jamuns turn out good but I would like to get the right measurement for it. If you could please let me know. Thank you for your generosity in sharing all your good recipes. with respect Monu aunty pls give me ballushahi receipe hi aunty i tried gulab juman,but its always break i don,t why pls tell me I tried this recipe 3 times and every time I fried the jamuns they were breaking up and dispersing in the oil. I changed the amount of baking soda each time, I also bought a new box of baking soda, and I also made sure the oil was at good temperature. The brand of milk powder I used is Nestle, Everyday Tea Whitener. The ingredients are: milk, soy lecitin and sugar. What brand did you use? Do you know what could be going wrong here? Heena, I donā€™t think you are using true milk powder from an Indian grocery ā€“ I donā€™t have the ingredients right in front of me right now that lists what milk powder contains but it sounds like you are using a milk substitute / coffee or tea creamer instead. Milk powder should be just dried non fat milk and nothing else. Iā€™m not sure where you are from or live but it sounds like you are using something like or something similar to what we have here in the States called ā€œCoffee Mateā€ and I donā€™t think thatā€™s what Manjula Ji means when she says MILK POWDER. Heena, I also agree with Lianne that you are using the wrong item. Milk powder is de-hydrated milk, nothing more. What youā€™re using is for coffee and tea. If youā€™re in the US, go to an American grocery store in the baking section and look for Carnation brand milk powder. If in doubt, check with one of the store clerks that itā€™s milk powder and NOT a coffee/tea creamer. Good luck. Iā€™m confused. I think Iā€™ve made a mistake. Weā€™re not supposed to add ALL 1/4 cup of milk at once? I did that and its SUPER sticky! :s I have tried this recipe and it turned out great!! Honestly, take her tips seriously though. It makes the world of difference. Bhabhi, I tried the Gulab jamun very tasty but the middle part is hard and tastes like dry flour any comments please let me know. Mazee, May be the dough was too dry add few more spoons of milk. Dough should be soft and then fry on low heat. Hello Aunty, Can I use 1% milk instead of whole milk for preparing dough?? Anu ā€“ I used 1% milk and they turned out just fine. I watched your video three times and read through the recipe twice. I was making these to serve to guests so I was afraid of ruining everything. I LOVE this recipe! By watching your video I was able to make these up just right the first time. I did, however, burn about 5 of them because my oil was too high, but that was easily remedied. I even tripled the batch and it still worked out just fine.
Alanis ā€“ I went with the recipe for the syrup Aunty used in the video (1c. water with 1 1/4c. sugar).
Everything turned out lovely and my guests devoured them (as did my Indian husband). Thank you so much!! hi manjula aunty! i tried 30 times gulab jamun recipes but very disappointed so finally i tried urs many many times but sometime they become hard from outside sometime from inside, i dont know where i go wrong. could u plz guide me thanks Aisha, Gulab jamuns are fried on low heat if they are fried on high heat gulab jamuns will be hard, or may be you needed to add little bigger pinch of baking soda, or dough was very dry so you needed to add little more milk. Hello Aunty, I just loved your reciepe will try it today. I never heard gulab jamun by milk powder as my mom always made it by using Khoya(Mawa) can you suggest by using this also.. Thank youā€¦.you are doing really great work Smita, In US we can not find khoya so here we use milk powder, this will never taste as made with khoya. I have never made gulab jamuns using khoya. dear manjula aunty, gulab jamuns have come out very nice,soft ,& tasty. thank you hi manjula anty. today first time i view your site.really i like it specially sweets receipes.today i try your gulab jaman but i dont know why they are little powdery form,and not soft from inside..pls can you guide me,where i make mistakeā€¦ also today i try namak para/papriā€¦.really superb receipe.my 5 years daughter love itā€¦..thank youā€¦.. Saira, May be dough was too dry, dough should be soft may be you have to use little more milk to dough then I recommended it happens. Nemaste Munjila jii. I need som help from you. yesterday i tried to made gulab juman. Every things was perfect, but when i wanted to fry the rolls. The balls breaked and become like helwa. Could you please tell me what i did wrong. Nmashkar Sara, I think you put too much baking soda. Thanks for sharing your recipes. I want to try this out, except I am a bit confused about the syrup quantities. In your video, you use 1 1/4 c sugar and 1 cup water, but the listed recipe says 1 3/4 c sugar and 1 1/2 cup water. Which is the preferred amount? hi manjula, i hope u can answer my question so i can try out this recipe. thanks! Alanis, I missed your question please ask again. Hello Aunty! Thank you so much for the Gulab Jamun recipe. I have finally mastered it after so many attempts from other recipes. It turned out perfect. My family loved it. Many thanksā€¦.

Hi aunty, Need an advice from you,iā€™ve made gulab jamuns for next week party ,should i store them without syrup or with syrup? if i store them with syrup wont they become too soft? If you use Bisquick instead of all purpose flour and heavy whipped cfream instead of milk, your gulab jamun will be much softer and professional tasting. This is a tip from a welknown sweet maker.

Could it be that I used coconut milk powder instead of milk powder that they broke apart when I put it in the frying pan? Hi Manjula I made the gulab jamuns and made then into small balls, but when I put it in the frying pan it all melted. Where did I go wrong? It just melted in the frying pan. hi aunty manjula, i do thank you heartily for the great help you are providing us. You made me happy indeed. Everyday am learning from your cookings. I love your program.

Hi Manjula, I tried making gulab jamun using your recipe. Only difference was that I used baking powder instead of the baking soda ( I didnā€™t have any of the soda on hand at home) and the gulab jamun turned out great. My mom, who is a great cook in my opinion, was very impressed and couldnā€™t wait to make them herself using your recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!! I made the gulab jamuns but they started crumbling while frying and were too soft. I had followed the instructions but had doubled the measurements as I wanted to make around 40. What could have gone wrong? Hi I tried Gulab Jamun and they turned out pretty good except when they were left in syrup, they became extremely soft and the skin started to come off. Do you know why? Hi Aunty, Tried the gulab jamuns .They came out nice but were a little hard. where did I go wrong? Hi Lavina, Heat was high or needed a tiney bit more baking soda. I have found that if you microwave the hard ones for a few seconds before you put them in syrup, they soften up nicely. Be sure to watch them closely. Aunty i tried gulab jamuns,they didnt soak much in the sugar syrup.The inside part is soft and cooked but jamuns didnt take much sugar,can you tell me where i went wrong? Aunty, I tried your kachori, they came out awesome. thanks.. For the gulab jamun, how do we know when the syrup is ready. how will we know the consistency? Thanks Hi Pia, as soon syrup comes to boil and sugar is disolved syrup is ready for gulab jamun. Hello aunty, I tried your gulab jamun. The dough came out really good, but when I cooked in oil, the inner part of jamun didnā€™t get cooked. I tried in several ways, making small balls, but If I leave it for longer time, it turns dark brown. What should I do to make it better? Thank you. Hello Madhu, Gulab Jamuns are fried on very low heat. Namaste Aunty, till now i have tried your recipes for jalebi, khasta kachori, mathri, pedas and gulab jamun and and without an exception all of them have been extremely successful.

I have already tried adding some more maida and ghee.. but didnt work. What could be the reasonā€¦ I did use milk powder that is around 7-8 months old. Thanks in advance. Hello Anita, I think you added too much baking soda. hi, i read ur complain first thing u have to notice the recipe correctly and if u r minlk powder is not expired so its good u have make the gulab jamun dough soft then it will not become powder and notice dont put expired items thank u Aunty, I am trying your recipe for first time. I tried your Peda recipe and they turned out awesome. Thank you. I was also looking for Surti Undhiyu recipe. All of your recipes tured out so great, I wanted to ask you if you have a good Surti Undhiyu recipe. Thanks Hello Auntie Manjula, Can I use Bisquick instead of flour? Hi Shelly, You can use Bisquick then donā€™t need baking soda just the texture is different. I prefer with flour. hello mam u r great.superb recepies.can i use fullfat milk powder.plz let me know kal iftar ki dawat hai. I love you! Thanks for the recipes! Hi manjula, in the video you never used all the milk. should we use all the milk? Hi Sabeen, Add milk slowley as needed dough should be soft and sticky. when do i freeze the gulab jamun? when do i reheat them? dear aunty, i made gulab jamuns before knowing your recipe. my gulab jamuns were hard and not cooked inside. my mom says that i should not put flour. can we omit it? and i knead it with warm water, is it ok? Hello Ashee, Try the recipe one time and then decide to make changes. This is the easiest recipe Iā€™ve found on the internetā€¦I canā€™t wait to try it. The instructions/ingredients are very thorough. Hi Aunty, I always make Gulab Jamuns from your recipe and they turn out really good. I wanted to try rolling them in coconut powder as you have suggested in tips. šŸ™‚ I have a question should I roll and keep gulab jamuns now only or the rolling should be done just before serving? I have already prepared the Gulab jamuns and I will be serving them on saturday in picnic. Thanks for this wonderful site! Wishing you all the very best, Kavita Hi Kavita, Roll the gulab jamuns in coconut and keep them, they will be good out in room temprature for few days. hello aunty, i used this recipe but dough was too oily :(ā€¦.and gulabjamun became bit hard. Also, how to fry them for 7-8 min. I sed low flame, still they will be brown in 2-3 min. Hi Rajashri, check the ingredients again dough should not be oily and they should be fried on low heat. Namaste Aunty ji, I love all your receipesā€¦. I love the way you teach. I have a question, I bought skim milk powder instead of non-fat beacuse I couldnā€™t find that. So when I made Gulab Jamuns, they became little hard from inside. And I found that the dough was also very hard. It was not that soft. What should I do when I make it next time. should I change the milk powder or mix some more Ghee or milk to knead the dough softer? I will be very thankful if you reply me back. Thank youā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. Hi Pramila, dough should be soft add more milk as needed. Gulab jamuns will be fine. Do you use normal milk powder or sweet milk powder? Please reply back soon as I want to make them on this rakhi Thank you šŸ™‚ Hi Dhrashti, I use normal milk powder. Thank you so much or your website! I have been looking for authentic Indian cuisine recipes for some time now, and your website is the best one I have seen! Your recipes are awesome (luckily I have an Indian market near by to purchase some of the spices) and the videos are a great way to show what the dish is supposed to look like when you are finished. Thank you for your online ā€œcook bookā€ and I canā€™t wait to try some of these recipes myself. hi, i made the gulab jamons for a bollywood dinner party last night. they were perfect!! as nice as any iā€™ve had in any restaurant!! I use Bisquick instead of all purpose flout. I also use heavy whipped cream instead of plain milk. By substituting above ingredits my gulab jamun are better than other people. I have served my gulab jamun at many wedding parties and people always praise them. Hello Manjulaji, I tried Gulab Jamun as per your recipe before the party day, for the first time they came out so hard that I was discouraged to make them. But I did not gave up. The second batch was better than the first one, which gave me some encouragement to make them again on the day of the party. On the day of party they came out AWESOME!! Everyone loved them. I should advice everyone to try making this before the day they are planning so that they know what needs to be adjusted. I realized from the first and second batch that the dough has to be soft, so I added more milk than specified in the ingredients in the third batch and while making 40 gulab jamuns (becasue Iā€™m a slow cook) I was frying 10 Gulab Jamun at a time I try to add few drops of milk to the dough so that it wonā€™t dry. That helped me. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this. Do you know how to make vegan Gulab Jamun?? Hello Aunty, I tried Gulab Jamun today..It came out really good..My husband praised me for doing this Yummy recipe..I would like to thank u for posting this recipeā€¦ Hi manjula aunty, i tried gulab jamuns as u mentioned in ur recipe and they were the best a couple of times and after taht didnā€™t quite turn out that good i dont know why? i was thinking the baking sodaā€¦if you could tell us exactly how much baking soda is needed i am sure it will help. i put more soda last time and then next time i was too cautious and put less and they became hard. so if you could give some measurement it will be great. thanks for your recipes though! i really enjoy them. Nice im going to try it Dear Manjulaji, Iā€™ve tried about 4 of your recipes so far and Iā€™m already a fan of yours! The level of detail you provide and the complete videos make it so easy to follow. I made rasmalai today (I never dreamt that I could even make it at home). Itā€™s turned out PERFECT! Thanks so much ā€“ I will keep coming back to the websiteā€¦. P Hello Manjulaji, Can we add ghee instead of butter? if yes can you please let me know how much? Regards Siya The amount will be the same for ghee or melted butter.

Hi Manjula aunty, I have made gulab jamuns 2 times using your recipe & I have only gotten compliments! Thanks a lot! Shivani Dear Aunty, I did the gulab jamuns exactly as u said. They turned out taste-wise awesomely delightful. They were soft as the syrup got absorbed till the core. Everything just fine. But the shape after soaking in syrup for 5 min squeezed. One portion went inside of each ball. I cooled them just before pouring in syrup for 2 minutes. but still the shape was lost. Please do help. I just couldnā€™t find what went wrong or what to do! help! Hi Manjula aunty, This recipe is fantastic! I tried making gulabjamuns for the first time todayā€¦.theyā€™ve turned out super-soft and super-delicious! Thanks for the detailed instructions and videos on all your recipes! Iā€™m sure girls like me in the U.S. who donā€™t have their moms around to teach them how to cook, really appreciate your fantastic website! Thank you so much! Reema Hi Manjulaji, I tried your recipe last night for my 8 year oldā€™s birthday. The gulab jamuns turned out hard..and chewy. I used to always make from the MTR or Gits mix and it used to come out well. But I was tempted seeing this recipe, hence the trial. What do you think could have gone wrong? When I made the dough I added the proper quantity of ingredients that you mentioned. Inspite of adding the 1/4 cup milk, the dough was a little hard. So I added little more milk and kneaded it. The milk that I added was not room temperature, it was cold. Do you think that made the jamuns hard. Please respond. Thank you. Hello Thimapra, The only reason I see that you fried them on high heat. Is it possible by any chance to use Coffee Mate instead of milk powder? Not interchangeable! Coffee Mate is made of oil and other stuff. Read the ingredient list. Milk powder is made of only milk that has had the liquid removed. Hello Manjula Auntie, I made gulab jamun with ur recipie.. It was excellent. But i fried gulab jamun in ghee bā€™coz i donā€™t like sweets fried in oil.. Thank u for such a good recipie. hi aunty, i wanted to know if you could use condensed milk alsoā€¦ just to add more sweet flavourā€¦ thank you Hello Lanita, I will not do that. hey umm your recipie was great but your but i fried it in ghee šŸ™‚ hi manjula aunty i am making this dish and i want to know if you can use unsalted butter that has cream in it because when i went shopping for unsalted butter and i checked the ingridents it all said that it has cream so i need your help pleaseā€¦ thank you Manjulaji, Excellent recipe and in fact one of the best I have ever tried!! Thank you anti do you know how to make masala dosa??? hi anti, when i made these gulab guman and i put them in oil they started to seperate and it all broke upā€¦ do you know why that happenedā€¦ and pluse i really wanted to eat themā€¦ thanksā€¦ i manjula anti can you please move to my area you cook very good and i always stay hungryā€¦ anyways i have to go eat bye and thanks for your very good recepiesā€¦. sorry ā€“ i mean . can i use baking powder instead of soda Baking powder and baking soda are not interchangeable. Can i use baking powder instead of baking powder. If yes then how much. Thanks Anju hi manjula anti, i have a question can you use margarine instead of butter? sorry no margarine why????? isnā€™t margarine and butter samething? margarine worked just fine for me anty hello Manjula Aunty, i tried this dessert,and it came out very well.my husband loved it. thank u so much for this wonderful receipe.i want to know how to make masalapoories,that is my favourite chat .can u add that item to the chat list? thank u Auntyā€¦ hi Manjula ji i tried your recepie of naan khatai which become good. But when i tried your recepie of gulab jamun as i knead the flour it becomes so hard n oily that i cnt make balls of it. it started breaking bcz it was to hard to hold. what went wrong even if i used the same quantity as you suggested. if the skimmed milk is not always fatfree . tell me diff . hello Manjulaji Namaste! kem chho? saru chhe? good i want to thank you to teach me gulab jamun. i mad it and it was so ,,, tasty and mouthwatering dish. all jamun was very good , soft with jali inside. wow ,,,i enjoyed it to cooked and eat. i feel bit more confident to make Indian-Gujarati midhhai as i am Gujarati from Gujarat. thanks a lot. i will do each week from your cookery programs. bye jyoti Thank u aunty.. I will try itā€¦ Hi aunty, Is it okay if I use Full cream milk powder vs non fat milk powder for gulab jamun? please let me know. Thank you. that should work great just putt 1 teaspoon butter less Namastey Aunty, Your recipes are very useful to me, Today i have tried Gulab jamun and they came out very nice, soft and very good. and instead of butter i have added ghee than also they came came out verygood my husband liked them and he was saying that there is no diffrence between the khoya and khoya which will do with drymik powder. thank you aunty hi aunty, i tried this wonderful dish twice the first time it all ended in the pan not even one piece has survived, the second time i added more butter and it went well but i noticed that the gulabjamun is rough from the outside , when i ate it before in a restaurant is was really soft from the outside why is that , and was the butter the cause of a better gulabjamun in my second trial ? thanx in advance Gulab jamuns dough should be soft because in few minutes you will notice dough will be dry because milk powder has absorve the milk. if dough is dry it will be rough texture. Gulab jamuns will tend to break because of too much baking soda added to the recipe. Gulab jamuns should be cooked on low heat. hai aunty i live in australia and wat to try making gulabjamuns,can i use homemade khoya instead of milk powder?.If yes, than i have to use baking soda also? Wish u a happy new year. Hello Roshi, If you are using khoya, you do not need to use baking soda. Thanks Aunty,i would like to say 1 more thing that i am ur regular follower of variuos recipes,have also tried a lot, since last 2 months i have been wacthing u.Before that i was not knowing about ur site.Itā€™s really helpful. BYE Dear Auntiji, Wish you a very Happy New Year to you. I have made Gulab Jamuns today for the first time. I had followed your recipe to the dot. The taste has come out quite well but the jamuns are slightly hard (i am able to cut it with a spoon but with some effort). The inner part is well cooked (and softter than the outer part) but is not absorbing the syrup. I would like to know how I can improve it the next time I make it. I have used the same proportions as you have mentioned. I have used Amul milk powder, amul milk and amul butter. Thanks and Regards Rama Hello, Gulab jamuns are often hard because the dough is not soft enough (some times it is possible you may have to use lieelr more milk), and are cooked on too high heat. Gulab jamuns should be cooked on low heat. Hi Manjula Aunty, I have one confusion. alot of website says that I should use baking powder and not baking soda. Please let me know if this is baking soda or baking powder. I have a party to bring this to and I am scared of cooking. Thank you. Hello Vandna, using nonfat milk should not make that much different, dough should be soft, may be needed lettle more baking soda Hi Miss Manjula, Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. My mom and I tried making the gulab jamuns last night but they ended up being hard on the inside and didnā€™t absorb the syrup. The heat level was on medium but the only thing different is that we used nonfat milk for kneading the dough instead of whole milk. Do you think that might have something to do with why they turned hard on the inside?
Thanks Vandna Thanx for your reply just one more question can i use nestle milk powder and nothing is mentioned on the packet if it is fat or non fat Waiting for your reply Thankyou I live in US, so my recipes are based on what ingredients are readily available here. I donā€™t use Khoya because the khoya I find in Indian grocery stores it is not to my liking. No you dont need khoya. Hello Aunty I am very much impressed by your recipes.till last month i was going through lots of other cookery shows but now i am just opening your website to learn something.Thanks for so tasty recipes now i want to make gulabjamun I just wanted to ask if i have to mix khoya in it or not Waiting for your reply Vaani Hello Madam, The website is wonderfulll.. iā€™ve been watching your recipes for a long time in youtubeā€¦ I have a querry regarding gulab jamum recipe, I tried ur recipe exactly the same way u mentioned. But, the jamums seemed to be little hard, chewey and not that easy to cut with a spoon. It is not soft. I dont know where I am going wrong. Will be happy and gratefull if you can help me to make soft jamuns. Thanks, Dhivya. Sat sri akal aunty, today my daughter has been 8 months old so i celebrate at home.i thought of making gulab jamun from your recipe.First time when frying them it had been melted in the oil,i think because too much of butter.The second time i did it again (on the same day) i used melted ghee and reduced it from first time,then it come out nice.Everybody at home liked it.Thank you for your recipe and video.iā€™ll try it with another dish. Hello Jaya and Deepi, Several times I have kept gulab jamun for more then a week. If Gulab jamuns are good when you have made they stay the same, just on Dewali I had made 600 jamuns and about 400 I made 6 days before I needed them and they were really good. Manjula I have not kept jamuns for more than a few days so I canā€™t say. Two suggestions: 1) if you have enough time before the party, make the jamuns and keep them for a week or two and see how they are, OR 2) select another sweet that is easier to make closer to the day of the party if you donā€™t have time to experiment with idea #1. Better to be safe than sorry ā€“ especially when having guests! Hi Jaya, I m throwing a big party this time on my sons bday. actually i need to prepare gulab jamuns at least 1 week bfore serving . will it be ok? my major concern is wud gjamuns bcome ver mushy if kept soKED IN SYRUP FOR SO LONG? Deepi, I am curious as to WHY you want to keep the gulab jamuns for so long before serving? Hi Deepi, Gulab Jamuns will stay in the same texture, they dont become any softer because they were soaked in syrup for longer time. Hi manjulajiā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ i want to know if the gulab jamuns will become very soft and mushy when kept for 2 weeks in syrup? what can i do if i want to make gulab jamuns and keep them for 2 weeks prior to serving so they retain their shape? Dear Auntiji, I made the Jamunā€™s as per your recipe and they turned out excellent. All your recipes are very precise and easy to try out. We appreciate all the effort you take in posting these recipes online. Monica Hi Drhindavi, you do need to use milk while making dough for gulab jamun. hi manjula auntyā€¦..great recipe just wanted to ask u tht it is necessary to put milk while kneading the dough can we use any thing rather thn milk to knead dough.. love u aunty u make my job much more easier through ur site Hi Anju, Go ahead and use the salted butter. The smal amount of salt in the butter will not have an adverse effect on the gulab jamums. Jaya Hi Manjula Aunty, i am willing to make gulab jamuns today but i donot have unsalted butter at home. can i substitute unsalted butter with ghee or oil.. pls help. thanks a lot.. Manjula ji Today i tried your gulab jamun recipe.They turned out nice but according to me they were not perfect. everything was fine but the outer surface was bit hard.What mistake I could have made? I think you can only answer me as you are perfectionist.Eagerly waiting for your reply . Manjula ji i would like to say that you are ding a great job by guiding persons who are fond of cooking like me. Seema Pawa Bangkok (Thailand) Hello Manjula, Really am enjoying your video cooking classes. Would it be possible to please do a video on tomato shorba ? It would be greatly appreciated. My Best Regards, Jeffrey Stanger Hi Manjula Aunty, I tried this recipe, and the gulab jamuns turned out soft from the inside, however the outside layer was very spongy and hard to break. I made it twice,and had the same problem. Do you know what I did wrong? Thanks Aunty, Samira Hello Amina, Gulab jamuns are often hard because the dough was not soft enough or gulab jamuns were cooked on high heat. Gulab jamuns should be cooked on low heat. Hi Manjula Aunty, I have tried this recipe and the gulab jamans turned out quite hardā€¦ But thanks for this recipe and all your recipes. They are easy to follow and seem pretty simple with amazing results! Thanks Aunty! xxx Hi Manjulaji, Today only I found this website and I have watched many videos already. Recipes are simple to follow and I am going to try few today. Thanks a lot for this website. It is great. I liked your Almond burfy recipe. I would like to ask you that can I use Cashewnuts instead Almond so it becomes KAJUBURFI. My son likes kajuburfi a lot. OR is it possible to give Kajuburfi recipe so I can make this for my son. Thanks once again. Hello Kiran, Thank you, for a great compliment. You freeze the gulab jamun after soaking in syrup. Batter to freeze in small batches and flat boxes so they are not piled up over each other. Dear Manjula, Your recipes are so well explained. Even a cooking-no-talent like me is able to follow them well. I made the Gulab Jamuns once following your recipe and they came out great. I want to make my own mithai this Diwali and I will follow all your recipes. If possible I want to make the Gulab Jamuns well ahead of time. You said we can freeze them. How do you freeze them? Do you freeze the fried balls seperately and then thaw them out and add to warm sugar syrup at the last minute? Or do you freeze them after soaking them in syrup? What is the best way? If you can let me know, I can always have Gulab Jamuns ready to serve! Warm regards, Kiran Hello Nani, I have never used whole milk powder, try and use 1/2 tablespoon less butter, let us know hoe the gulab jamun turned out. Does it make a difference if I use whole milk powder and reduce the butter? I do not have any non fat milk powder. Would that make a significant difference? I love your recipes! Hi Alisha, You get to know your stove by practice. Your dials should have some kind of markings on it ā€“ either numbers or letters like Lo ā€“ Med ā€“ High. Either way, turn the dial on midway between OFF and HIGH. After a few minutes, put in a test piece of jamun dough in the oil and see what it does. From there you can decide if you need to increase or decrease the heat. Whether you have gas or electric, you many need to adjust the heat slightly during the course of deep frying. It all gets better with practice. šŸ™‚ Hello Alisha, Every stove has different settings, you will have to use your own judgement. I like to fry in canola oil. Manjula Hello aunty! hope you are well. I have two questions: what sort of oil for the frying? is it olive oil, etc? and secondly, i have an electric stove. when you say medium low do you mean 3 or 2? (this is assuming that we have the same sort of stove!) Hello Neeta, I have tried once and did not like it, also it had a funny smell. hello Aunty,I have tried Gulab Jamun & this time it was perfect ā€¦yammmyyyyyā€¦ i want to ask 1 thingā€¦ what is this milk-mava powderā€¦i have seen in the Indain shop ā€¦.is that same like dry milk powder or Powder of Mava. Hello Sadia, you can use bisquick use little less butter just texture comes out little different. Manjula hello aunty. aunty can i use bisquick instead of all purpose flour?? Yes anuty, ur rite I added to much of unsalted butter around 4 cubes. which resulted in very smooth balls. anyways i am trying again to day I hope it turns rite To follow up, I would also recommend frying a test piece of jamun to see if it fries correctly before adding more. Hello Priti, The only two reasons I can think, you had too much baking soda, or too much butter. I know gulab jamuns should be fried on very low heat but if it is too low thats the another reason gulab jamun will disolve in oil Onr more thing I added the butter in the same way as the video it was exact a pinch with my figure tips »» I really dont know waht happen? they where smooth while rolling Priti Look above at the Tips and see #2. Perhaps you put in too much baking soda. Do you remember how much you may have put in? A ā€œpinchā€ in cooking terms is ā€œless than 1/8 of a teaspoonā€, usually a small amount picked up between your thumb and finger. Hope this helps. šŸ™‚ Hi anuty, Today I tried gulab jamun. the ball where every smooth and soft while i was rolling and they looked good but the moment they where put in oil which was not too hot and was medium, I dont know why it started disolving in oil. Can you tell me why that happened ??? I want to try this recipe again. basen ladoo is in the list to do hi aunty, Your all desserts are good and i did try. Do u know , how can make basen ladoo? Pls tell us. Thanks, Archana Hi Aunty, I love to cook, so when i found your recipes, cooking became fun. You have a way of simplifying the recipes which is great for those of us who are learning to cook. So Thank you for sharing your knowledege with us.

Dear Manjula: The first time I tried the Gulab Jamuns I fall in love for them. Then, my husband found you in youtube and we immediately tried to make them. At the moment I only had Mr.Coffee milk, so I went for it; but even when they came up ok, it was a hassle because the dough was very sticky and weird. Anyway, it worked and we ate them. Today, for the second time, I actually made them with the right milk and WOOOWWW, theyā€™re AMAZING!!! The dough was super easy to manage. We are really glad that you take some of your time to put this recipes online and we hope you keep doing it because we just love them. Thank you soooo much!!! P.D: Also your samosas and Palak Pareer came out delicious!!! why do we add Baking soda?? is it necessary? can we do without it? Hi Aunty, When i make gulab jamuns it comes really wel but it is bit hard from inside how could i make it soft from insid as well. Hello Sofina, I think dough was too dry just add another spoon of milk, dough should be soft enough that you can make balls smooth. Hi Aunty, Thank you so much for your informative and detailed recipes. Theyā€™re so helpful!I just tried your gulab jamun recipe, and they taste really goodā€¦but they look a little different.

I also have electric stove just heal the oil on medium low. This time gulab jamuns will be perfect. Hello Manjula Aunty, What will happen if I used salted butter instead of unsalted butter when making Gulab Jamuns? I have not yet tried to make them again-as the three times I tried they did not work out right. It is hard for me to regulate the temperature with electric stove top. Pray for me Aunty that it will work out for me next time. Im so excited about them finally working out-I cant wait to cook them for my family and friends. From Annette I love your site!

Dear Mrs. Manjula, Thank you so much for creating this wonderful website! I am so excited to try your recipes. Dear Manjula, Your desserts are sweet and delicious! ā€¦ and I love your web site ( so clear, simple and humble!) I am a French pastry chef (althought I have placed this profession on the side for a few years, I still love it) and have two suggestions you might find interesting. More and more the pastry professional world find the wheat price sky rocketing (I think it has tripple within 1 year). Imagine what it means to a pastry chef face with this situation! I think many of them might be interested to find alternative to wheat, not only because the price is climbing weekly, but also because it is an alternative to people with Celiac deseaseā€¦. and it had an other flavor to the traditional wheat flavor. For example you could transform a traditional pie dough, tart dough with another type of flour (i.e Gram flour, etc.). Traditional italian pasta, sponge cake and other specialties could also use this type of flour replacement. Coming from a pastry Europeen culture, I realized how advance the pastries are there and how much people from all around the world brag about them. With sadness, I rarely saw ethnic pastry to be taken to this level. They are often too sweet and/or too fatty. I beleive, indian recipe as you make them could have an added twist such as of creativity, subtle balance of flavors, sweetness (not too much not too little), fat (not too oily, not too heavy, right fat flavor, yet transporting the flavors), having crunchy feeling in our mouth as we biting or creamy or both blended, final presentation, etcā€¦ you will send your love for them to the sky. Olivier Dear Mrs Manjula, Today I made gulab jaamuns for the fourth time. (Actually, I made jalebis today for the first time as well). All four times, I used your recipe. I followed your instructions to the dot and they came out perfect all four times. My family and I enjoyed this great Indian treat. This is my favourite all-time Indian sweets, at least out of all the ones I have tasted. Thank you very much for uploading this wonderful recipe for all of us. Gulab Jamuns you can leave them out or refrigerate texture should hot change. the only problem I see you cooked them on little high heat. Use your harden gulab jamun in little different way they will taste great. Cut them in small pieces and dip them in choclate and garnish with sliced almonds. Dear Mrs Manjula, thanx for this great contribution! Please advise me why gulaab jaamuns turn hard when i leave in the fridge. they are perfect when fresh but as time goes they donā€™t soften only harden? i left them out for about 6 hrs before refrigerating. i coolled them outside little bit before adding to very hot syrup. please wat am i doing wrong? thanx so much!
