Gulab Jamun, One of the first few sweets I learned after my marriage. Initial stages I used instant Gulab Jamun mixture to do it slowly I started to try different variations in gulab jamun I have quite a few versions in the blog (Bread, Sweet potato, Kala Jamun, Regular Gulab jamun, Makkan peda). This is one of the Indian sweet you don’t have to worry about the consistency of the sugar syrup. You just need to make sure of the consistency of the dough and fry it on low medium flame to get all inner part cooked. For any celebration, you can do this. This is quite fast to do it.
