Recipe Notes
- Can use brown or white bread, just make sure it’s fresh.
- Add some malai/cream while kneading the dough for soft gulab jamuns.
- Always add little milk at a time to form the dough, else it will become very sticky.
- Always fry the gulab jamuns on medium flame else they will remain uncooked from the centre.
- Make sure the sugar syrup is hot before adding the gulab jamuns, else they wont soak the sugar syrup properly.
- Filling the centre of the gulab jamun with raisins and pistachios is optional.
