[ArtStudent22]

Aunti,

I tried making these again but smaller in size and they came out a bit hard on the inside -- how can I avoid that. I want to make them bite size and soft.

Please help! I need to make these to impress my nani who is coming from india on friday. :-D

[Manjulaskitchen]

@ArtStudent22

May be dough should have been softer, or oil was too hot

[dubious26]

@ArtStudent22 i would say never make roung gulab jamans, make long ras malai kinda shape...it never gets hard from the middle !! good luck

[kawaietbelle]

umm i was wondering if i cud use full fat milk powder and how much 3 tbs butter would b in grams?? thnku

[Xjr5rjX]

Aunty, your video is Mind blowing

[Kauragious]

hi aunty i tried to make gulab jamun and they looked great but when i ended up putting them in syrup they kinda went flat like they were hallow in the middle. so i don't know what went wrong but they tasted good and in the begining they looked like gulab jamun

[mgster100]

had these at a local Indian restaurant. WE LOVE THEM!!!

[SuperRockstar84]

Hello Munjula,

I tried making gulab jamans - everything looked perfect until after I had finished cooking I tasteit, looked inside and it was not cooked.

I tried again but it was only cooking from the outside and not inside - inside was not cooking.

I used Plain flour instead of Multi-purpose flour as I can not find Multi-purpose flour.

Can you please give a solution to the flour and tell me why the gulab jamans are not cooking from the inside?

Thank You

[ArtStudent22]

namaste Aunti,

I have made these...and my mom was shocked that I could make these. They were very good. They were so good that they have become somewhat of a special request my friends and family. I would like to make these again ... however, I have a question -- how long is it okay to keep them in fridge after making them. I would like to make these couple of days before family comes to visit.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@ArtStudent22

You can keep them at least for 10 days.

[drsaraafzal]

I tried it too,my gulab jamans burst open and look gross :(

[lifoc]

@drsaraafzal probably too much baking soda. pinch really means a pinch - i learned it hard way too when my 1st gulab jamun ball completely melted in the oil ... after correcting the measurements, they turned out perfect. try again :-)

[markcumbriauk]

They Look very Tasty

[helpinghands2000]

hello aunty ,

my aunty akes me to go to your vivioes and since it is diwali tomorrow , i `ll be makeing them all night

thank you for this bye xx

PS: i subbd to your channel :)

[heroes450]

hi aunty i tried ur recipe but as soon as i put the jamun balls to fry in the oil it broke into crumbs, wat do u think is the reason ? and wat can i do so tat they don'tt break.. pls help :)

[Manjulaskitchen]

@heroes450

[Manjulaskitchen]

@heroes450

Could be you used too much baking soda or dough was too dry, dough should be moist use little more milk if it is needed.

[arkolly]

Hello auty, i made this gulab jamun as u said and it was perfect. thanks a lot.

[1985sonam]

helo aunty i tried the recipe i used skimmed dried milk and jamun were tasting very bitter.

[salimaum]

i love it gulab jamun

[MrsZeelicious]

hi aunty, i tried ur gulab jamun, but the texture of the balls after mixed with the syrup was still hard, i mean it's not soft when i chewed it. was it the right texture? coz when i was in india, i tried once and the balls were soft. what went wrong then?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@MrsZeelicious

Make sure the dough is soft and fry the gulab jamun on low heat

[AcccountDisabled]

i would really look forward to your book if you ever write one! :)

[Manjulaskitchen]

@coolestchica1

Dough for gulab jamuns was very dry.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@Manjulaskitchen

[mala3364]

DIDI< please tell me -How many grams of butter need for gulab jamon?

[richie7515]

Hi!i just wanted to ask you ,that whenever i try making gulab jamun and start to fry,they all break open and there is nothing but powder in the oil....i tried everything.Can you tell me where i go wrong?

[salmaarafaa]

so sweete ! aunty u are...thanks 4 all u do to teaching us...i dit today 1rst time roshukullah, and it's just great ! thanks a lot a big kiss to u muoh !!!!

[UberFrito]

Maybe it's the all-purpose flour. Some people I know that make this don't use flour, but just straight milk powder

[lvit405775]

if your Gulab Jamun was hard add a bit of lime jucie into the sugar sirup

[LocoAfghano]

Hi when we coocked the gulab jamun it cam out hard and on the inside it was dry it didnt have any syryp

[Manjulaskitchen]

@LocoAfghano

Dough is not soft enough if needed use little more milk or heat is too high. Gulab jamun should be fried on low heat.

[missarzo]

Hey

I made them, but they were very hard. what can they be due? What should I do to make them soft??

[lvit405775]

you can use a little bit of lime juice

[jerrinjoy85]

Thanks for the recipe! i made it and it came out really nice. The only problem with mine was that it was a bit hard on the outside. I think i fried it for a bit too long. thanks again!

[deepthimukund]

Hello Aunty,

I'm a great fan of your recipes. i've tried many and all are just perfect.

I tried to make jamun 4 times. everytime, when i fry they completely break into powder like. i used mava milk powder. i have followed the exact procedure.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@deepthimukund

I dont know what is the mava milk powder. Try just milk powder.

[ArtStudent22]

Auntiji,I made the gulab jamuns and they were nice soft but my mom kept on saying they were as mulayam as gulab jamun should be - What can I do to fix that problem?

I would like to make these tomorrow for lohri.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@ArtStudent22

may be the dough should have been more softer so try couple of more spoons of milk.

[mishtube120]

hello.. please let me know if baby power milk (0-12months) would work fine for this recipe??

[Manjulaskitchen]

@mishtube120

Sorry I have never tried it may be try once

[9224598887]

Hello Aunty

Just wanted to know wat kind of oil should we use .... or is any oil is fine

I was going to use vegetable oil is that fine..\

[Manjulaskitchen]

[Manjulaskitchen]

saima

[Manjulaskitchen]

may be the dough was dry how much milk to use for making dough some time depends on the brand of milk powder you are using it can be little more or less.

[shaistlaila]

hello,  is baking powder is the same as baking soda?

[fawda283]

hello, no they are two different things.

[diptichauhan]

hi,today i made gulab jhamun.i took all ingredients in right amount as u taught..but after putting the gulab jhamun in syrup i kept them for an hor.but their ourterside is little tight...hepl me where i m wrong....

[Manjulaskitchen]

may be the dough was dry how much milk to use for making dough some time depends on the brand of milk powder you are using it can be little more or less.

[topbanana188]

My favorite - thanks!

[Scoopy4444]

Hi, i'm just experiencing indian cuisine.Thank you for your vids  : )

[Limitedbatch]

Hello Manjula,

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I have only one question; after soaking the gulab jamun in syrup for about an hour I found that several broke and crumbled in the syrup. Do you know maybe what caused this?

Thank you so much.

[Manjulaskitchen]

I think you used too much baking soda

[squaretablecloth]

hello auntji

for some reason after leaving the gulab jamuns in sryup for more than hour they didn't absorb any syrup.. when i sliced them they were still very dry from the inside. they did come out very soft though.

[Manjulaskitchen]

gulab jamun should be fried in low heat.

[squaretablecloth]

i did fry them on low heat. i had to poke holes in the gulab jamuns in order for them to absorb the syrup..lol.

[Manjulaskitchen]

use little more baking soda or dough was too hard.

[achilleus11]

Thanks for the recipe, but i am living in Holland and i dont know what is purpose flour. If someone know please tell me zo i can buy it and make it at home.

[Manjulaskitchen]

all purpose also known plain flour or maida

[NomadDad57]

try measuring your flour by weight. 1/4 cup of AP flour is about 30 grams. Actually 30.12 grams. That might help.

[khosein87]

hey my gulab jamun came out very soft do u know y

[anne4gill2]

Hello Manjula Auntie, thank you so much for this video. I just made it few hours ago, and it is absolutely delicious. Came out Perfect.

I'm from Pakistan, and my grand parents are from RamPur, and our family loves Gulab Jamun.  I wanted to tell you that your recipes are wonderful, as you are wonderful.

Salam and Namastay.

[abylas82]

[drhindavi]

hi manjula auntie....recipe is grt ...just wanted to ask u is it compulsary to add milk?can we use anything else to make dough tight rather than milk?

[kjandhyala]

Thanks manjula aunty.Gulab jamun is yummy and i have tried it and came very delicious.

[11994]

thanks for the recipe!!!i have a question can you use rosewater in this!!thanks a alot!!i've been wanting to know how to make this!!thank you :)

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can use some rose water in syrup.

[jasminjemima]

[somalin1982]

Aunty I tried it and it was so yummy...I wont be able to eat instant gulab jamun anymore...))I just want to know what shall I prepare when I will be in indis..I guess milk power is not easily available right?

[candacegrover]

Milk powder is just powdered milk. Carnation instant is fine. It is what I used when I made the recipe.

[kalkati]

which milk powder should i use

[sea786]

namaste manjula aunty,i made gulab jamun today after watching ur video,i used whole milk powder...is it ok or i hav to use skimmed milk powder only....and other thing is my first 6 gulab jamun that i put in the oil burn completely.....other 4 were raw from inside and only two of thm was ok...i didnt fried thm all at once...few first and few later....can u plzzzz tell me where did i went wrong so next time i m aware of it ...ang get nice gulab jamun like urs one to eat.......

[Manjulaskitchen]

gulab jamuns are fried on very low heat check more detailed method on my website.

[alokofaarmax]

Very clear and very simple .. hopefully very tast as well. I have yet to try it.

[2k7eyazz]

hey manjula...

just a question,

is all purpose flour just normal plain flour?

and great video by the way, helped sooo much!

sara xx

[IVtWrP1188]

HI MANJULA ANTY,

Can you plz share the recepie of Milk Barfi with us?

Thank you

[yahya1c]

Thank you for the time you took to make this recipe. Really, once perfected, there is no reason to use koya when quality milk powders like Nido are available. Anyway, just wanted to say that these were good, but, they were too soft. The final product really needs to be more DENSE, just like the ones you buy in India/Pakistan. I will make these again in a few days and will add between 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup more milk powder to hopefully solve the problem.  Thanks again for the recipe.

[PREITY2008]

I love your videos and i am learning so much- so thanks very much

[Lightworker2008]

I am so glad i found you and your recipes.

I used to make the gulab jamun with a ready pack but from now on it's gonna be home made, thanks to you!

[agile1979]

Hi Auntie

[Manjulaskitchen]

[narlzp]

Thanks Mrs Manjula instead of Milk powder is it possible to substitute Plain flour instead?

[neb138]

i am allergic to milk, so i tried to use soymilk powder. DO NOT DO THIS!!! the balls melted in my oil instead of staying together, and all i had left was a big mess...

Hi Manjula Aunty!! your recipes are awesome....

[janaki28]

Dear Manjula Amma, hello from the Netherlands. I love all your video's, they are so inspiring and helpful. I think you are the best cook. I grew up in India, and food like you make it cannot be found in restaurants. I am looking forward to your website!

[Manjulaskitchen]

Let's see why jamuns were hard, may be dough was hard you needed to add couple of spoon more milk or you fried them in higher heat. Dry milk powder different brand some time take couple of spoon more or less milk as I said in my recipe. If you have any other question email me. Let me know

[7billa]

i love your all recipe
