hi..i tried this recipe........when i was frying jamuns, it was perfect but when i put them in sugar syrup...they were shrink(changed the shape)...tell me the reason plz.........i used milk instead of yogurt....oil temp was perfect....thanks
@arhifaith : The yogurt is for binding - so add little at a time and if you need less, use less. You just need to use the amount that brings the dough together, hope that helps :)
@kewl904 : Sounds like your dough was very dry - a little more yogurt would have helped. It is also essential to make smooth balls and have the oil at the right temperature to fry. We are sure they will come out good next time :)
Which milk powder should I use: - i've searched but there are various ones - e.g:
Tesco Instant Dried Skimmed Milk
Nestle Nido Milk Powder
Which one's the best to use, would it be Nido??
Also, which plain flour should I use...i'm guessing that elephant atta would not be right - can u use wheat flour, or is that completely different to wheat flour??
Hi, Anuja and Hetal, i made this gulab jambu today and it came out really good . i always make gulab jambu with ready mix but from your recipe it came out sooooooo yummy !!! i am gonna give surprise to my husband today. thanks
i have tried this recipes but it is turn out hard ,itstexture was like khoya.i fry it in low temperture atleat for 7min syrup was also perfect .but initially it was soft but later it turn out hard i dont understand were i went wrong .so plz help me
hi,i made gulab jamuns as per your recipe.........its soft but not tasty like khoya jamuns...which u get in restaurants............normally in kerala and in south they make it with instant mixx..but in north theyr diffrent wth khoya...how to make them taste like dat?
hii...i tried this recipe twice, n both times it turns out to be hollow inside :-/...i mean i'm very happy with the way it looks, its taste n all..it just turns out to be hollow inside...i dunno if its with the baking soda that i use (used arm n hammer baking powder)...what kinda baking soda did u guys use in the video????
@anjukuttyy : We use Arm and Hammer as well...so really don't know what to say. We have only heard to the other type of problem - hard on the inside due to the oil not being the right temp.
Hey anju..i think it is because of the heat of the oil. If the oil is more hot that needed...the jamun does cook and gets brown faster but has the hollow part inside. Try keeping the heat level to 4- 5 for a longer time before frying the jamuns rather than straight away heating to the pan at 6..

I tried out this recipe having got tired of all the recipes out there!!
My gulab jamuns never turn out right!
This time, when I fried them, they were hard from the outside and soft from the inside and when I took them out of the sugar syrup, they were mushy from the inside and kinda hard from the outside.
How long do you cook the syrup for?
Please help, I love making gulab jamun but it never works out :'(
Yes, you can make khoya from the milk powder however we suggest looking for another recipe to make the jamuns with mawa or khoya as the ingredients/proportions will be different.
2) and also how long do u simmer the syrup? i have a feeling that if the syrup is too thick might be they wont easily go inside the jamun balls...what do u think?
3) m sure the syrup will not accomplish completely....so how do i reuse the syrup??...
msorry toasku suchhhuge question...but will be really helpul if u could answer them to me...

Can you make this using the same recipe but roll them out to look like a long stick, kinda of like .7 inches? (indo fijian type), thats the type of dough they roll out.?
Can you make this using the same recipe but roll them out to look like a long stick, kinda of like .7 inches? (indo fijian type), thats the type of dough they roll out.?
No, the two are different. Please see our Tip Tuesday video called "Baking Soda vs Baking Powder" for a detailed explanation. You can find it on our youtube channel or on our website: ShowMeTheCurry (dot) com.
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. Baking powder is sodium bicarbonate mixed with an acidic agent (cream of tartar) and a drying agent (corn starch). We have a tip video on the difference between the two. Pls check it out if you get a chance.
Sometimes when I fry my gulab jaman they get crack in it & when i put inside the syrup the dupling open into a part.Can you help me to fix up this mistake.
@ShowMeTheCurry Do you have red chicken recipe which are made in restaurants? Also does the Kaju Katli Burfi taste same as ones in india of your recipe?
@ShowMeTheCurry I believe it is called "tandoori chicken", it's called red chicken in restaurants it says grilled onions and bell pepers on top of the red colored chicken.
@ProudSikhJatt : We have a recipe for Tandoori Chicken. Check out our website or our YouTube channel. Our chicken is not as red as we do not add food coloring to it, which is something all restaurants do.
I tried this recipe again but with 3x the ingredients. I used Baking Soda instead of baking powder, and made sure I used tbs and not tsp. I think I used wrong measurements for yogurt and butter in my last recipe.
I waited for 1 hour 15 mins, and I was able to roll them quite well.
I tried using both low and middle settings, at low settings I was able to keep them golden brown, while they got too brown at medium setting, and too quickly.
Further more, I noticed that they expanded while in
the oil. This time, they were too soft and I felt that they would break any second while taking them out of the oil. Also, when i was putting them in the syrup, I noticed that they had lost their roundness while sitting on the paper towel. They turned to be little too soft. Any idea why?
Baking powder will not work. That is probably waht the issue is.
Also the temp of the oil, it has to be low, takes longer but cooks all the way through.
They do expand very little but I think your expanded more because of the Baking Soda and they puffed up and then deflated when you kept them on the paper towel.
Hope that helps...so Baking Powder is imp. and the right temp for the oil.
Since you took the time to reply, I thought I will aswell. I have tried making gulab jamuns again, but I used milk instead of yogurt., also baking soda. I used about 3/4 cup of sugar and 1.5 cup of water, and they were still too sweet. So I am guessing some sugars are more sweeter than others. Also, the inside did not turned out to be well cooked, even though I used low flame. I will try again with different gas, that has a even lower flame.
My gulab jamun hasn't expanded in size in sugar syrup and was hard from outside. What i have done wrong? pls let me know asap, as i really want to learn it. Also i know that some recipes including semolina in their mixture. Can it be added in your recipe?
Just out of curiosity, the video shows y'all adding the balls to boiling syrup, but in the above statement, y'all wrote not to add it to boiling syrup....Could y'all clarify, please? Thanks!
tried it. the syrup is too sweet for my taste, so I be using 1 cup in the future.
I dont have ghee, so I used butter in its liquid. Does that makes a difference? After adding the yogurt, it did not solidify well, so I added in some milk.
I am wondering, how long do you let the mix sit before making balls? I had very hard time forming the ball. I could not make them by rolling dough between my palms, so I used my fingers to make it circular looking.
my dear how may i thank u tell me!!u knw thousand times i tryed to make golab jamon even thoui got learnt from expert but faild!i was so dumb that even packed powder i did nt successful,this time i tried for the last and final and it works suparble!
i did it once and it turned out great,, everybody loved it but now when ever i try it there is sumthing wrong it... like the inside is way too dry..other then that it looks good.. could u plz let me know what is it im doin wrong? why the inside is dry???
There are 2 types of Slpenda, one of them is for cooking! We have never tried it but have been told that if you use the one that is meant for cooking, then it comes out well.
Just tried the recipe it came out fantastic. Easy to follow steps. Pity a cannot try most of the recipes since I do not find the ingredients in my country.
Hi, i would like to know where u get the milk powder, i mean what kind, i live in denver, so we have safeway, albertsons, king soopers, of course walmart, so i was wondering as to what kind of milk powder do you use for this recipe, thanks.
Can't imagine why it would be salty. There is no salt in the recipe. We do use Carnation so that could not be the issue. The gulab jamun really have no flavor (only milky) until they are added to the sugar syrup.
If you both are married, I am jealous of your husbands. I always dreamt of a wife who can cook me all these but after marriage I ended up cooking for her all the time :-( but I love to do that. Thanks for posting this I have got a good receipe for my lovely wife. INDIAN HUSBAND IN THE KITCHEN.
Baking powder is actually baking soda with other ingredients mixed in (starch, etc). You cannot use baking powder as it will change the texture of the jamuns.
Thanks for the ezy and nice racipe,try to learn from long time but always not very fine like this gulaab jamuns racipe, today i learnd very very ezy way to make yummy gulab jamums, Thanks agian.

Also, if there are any cracks or creases in the gulab jamuns before you fry then they will crack at the time of frying.
So check the oil temp and make sure the gulab jamuns are very very smooth before you fry them.
Hope that helps!

@ProudSikhJatt : Sorry, but you will to be more specific as far as the curry is concerned... :(
Kaju Katli tastes amazing and you will be amazed that you made it at home ;)

@ShowMeTheCurry I believe it is called "tandoori chicken", it's called red chicken in restaurants it says grilled onions and bell pepers on top of the red colored chicken.
ProudSikhJatt 1 year ago
@ProudSikhJatt : We have a recipe for Tandoori Chicken. Check out our website or our YouTube channel. Our chicken is not as red as we do not add food coloring to it, which is something all restaurants do.
Enjoy :)

I tried this recipe again but with 3x the ingredients. I used Baking Soda instead of baking powder, and made sure I used tbs and not tsp. I think I used wrong measurements for yogurt and butter in my last recipe.
I waited for 1 hour 15 mins, and I was able to roll them quite well.
I tried using both low and middle settings, at low settings I was able to keep them golden brown, while they got too brown at medium setting, and too quickly.
Further more, I noticed that they expanded while in

the oil. This time, they were too soft and I felt that they would break any second while taking them out of the oil. Also, when i was putting them in the syrup, I noticed that they had lost their roundness while sitting on the paper towel. They turned to be little too soft. Any idea why?
deciphyer 2 years ago
Baking powder will not work. That is probably waht the issue is.
Also the temp of the oil, it has to be low, takes longer but cooks all the way through.
They do expand very little but I think your expanded more because of the Baking Soda and they puffed up and then deflated when you kept them on the paper towel.
Hope that helps...so Baking Powder is imp. and the right temp for the oil.

Since you took the time to reply, I thought I will aswell. I have tried making gulab jamuns again, but I used milk instead of yogurt., also baking soda. I used about 3/4 cup of sugar and 1.5 cup of water, and they were still too sweet. So I am guessing some sugars are more sweeter than others. Also, the inside did not turned out to be well cooked, even though I used low flame. I will try again with different gas, that has a even lower flame.
Is there any benefit of using yogurt over milk?

My gulab jamun hasn't expanded in size in sugar syrup and was hard from outside. What i have done wrong? pls let me know asap, as i really want to learn it. Also i know that some recipes including semolina in their mixture. Can it be added in your recipe?
aishauddin 2 years ago
If they have not expanded in the syrup there are 2 things that could be the issues:
- the oil was not at the right temp.
- the syrup was cold when you added the balls to it. The syrup needs to be hot but not boiling, when you add the Gulab Jamuns to them.
Hope that helps.
ShowMeTheCurry 2 years ago
Just out of curiosity, the video shows y'all adding the balls to boiling syrup, but in the above statement, y'all wrote not to add it to boiling syrup....Could y'all clarify, please? Thanks!
Chackoccino 2 years ago
Once the syrup comes to a boil, you can turn down the stove to a simmer so that it is not a rolling boil.
ShowMeTheCurry 2 years ago
tried it. the syrup is too sweet for my taste, so I be using 1 cup in the future.
I dont have ghee, so I used butter in its liquid. Does that makes a difference? After adding the yogurt, it did not solidify well, so I added in some milk.
I am wondering, how long do you let the mix sit before making balls? I had very hard time forming the ball. I could not make them by rolling dough between my palms, so I used my fingers to make it circular looking.
deciphyer 2 years ago
They need to be put the gulab jamuns in hot (not boiling)syrup and cover and keep aside for atleast 3-4 hours.
The dough needs to rest for about 10 mins or so.
Regarding the balls, you do not have to 'roll' out the dough, you do need to use your hands to make the balls.

darinda22 2 years ago
Usually, if the inside is dry or hard, the oil might be too hot when you fry them. The outside cooks faster than the inside.

perhaps i am using too much or too little milk

Cracks usually means that it is dry needs more moisture. We have never used the packaged mix...

you can't make sugar cyrup by splenda.. i have tried.. but it was just a sugar water not at all sticky... so don't try with splenda
Pushpriya 2 years ago
There are 2 types of Slpenda, one of them is for cooking! We have never tried it but have been told that if you use the one that is meant for cooking, then it comes out well.
If you do try it, let us know.
ShowMeTheCurry 2 years ago
I tried this to make cyrup with splenda
FOR THE SYRUP:
* 2-cups Splenda Measurable
* 1-cup water
* 1-tbsp cornstarch
* 4-5 cardamon pods, crushed slightly
To make the hot "syrup" add mix the splenda, cornstarch, water and rose water.
(3) Add 4-5 cardamom pods, slightly crushed and a few strands of "Kesar"
(4) Mix with a spoon and then heat at medium heat for 5-10 minutes until thick and dissolved.

zdiiriye 2 years ago
Can't imagine why it would be salty. There is no salt in the recipe. We do use Carnation so that could not be the issue. The gulab jamun really have no flavor (only milky) until they are added to the sugar syrup.

baking powder can b used?
reenachitra 3 years ago
Baking powder is actually baking soda with other ingredients mixed in (starch, etc). You cannot use baking powder as it will change the texture of the jamuns.
