Oooooh this is tite. Only tip: some (garbage) people put a cashew or almond in the middle of each one, which ruins it, so I’d say don’t do that.

Make sure the gulab jamun are COMPLETELY cool before putting in sugar syrup otherwise they will disintegrate! And be very careful with oil temp lest the jamuns become too oily or end up raw inside. Be sure to soak at least overnight!

It's my country's Sweet. Just make sure it's slightly dark than golden brown. And about sugar syrup make it right quantity. If you do it more it will go waste. Do less, you will need some more because those balls suck it up. All the very best. pic.twitter.com/myr6eRNWP7

When you roll the dough balls, try to make them as smooth as possible. Any visibly lines WILL turn into cracks when you soak them in the sugar syrup.

HELLO CERTIFIED INDIAN MOM TIPS FROM MY MOM

-knead the flour by hand, it gives it the suppleness it needs
-syrup has to be thick, runny syrup is shit syrup
-add cardamom and rose essence, hence Gulab, and saffron to the syrup
– fry on medium flames
lmk if you want more!
For Greek desserts with homemade syrup, there’s a rule that either the dessert or syrup needs to be cool and the other item warm. Both can’t be cold and both can’t be warm.

Is that a Gulab jamun thing too since syrup is involved?
Try having some without soaking them in sugar syrup. The crispy fried balls are quite yum.

I like it warm with no ice cream! ?I wish I could handle the extra sweetness with the ice cream!
— Ana (@shabana_can) March 15, 2020
Have it hot. No matter what others say.

Also make sure you add a crushed cardamom to the simple syrup (chashni). Regular recipes don't mention that. It unlocks Indian Wedding level dessert.
Whoa. Good luck! Let us know how they turned out! They can be tricky but the secret is to keep the portions balanced & the shape right so that they turn out soft & even. Deelish, once perfect. pic.twitter.com/PeSmfvSLQc
