    Bread Gulab Jamun Recipe

    Yesterday my long term wish came true .I always wanted to have a  own domain name for my blog and finally I received it. I am really really excited about this. So to celebrate this special occasion I am delivering you this awesome recipe. The cool thing is, it is really hard to find difference between this and the normal jamuns.

    I made this couple of weeks back and my little sister had this and she liked it so much, actually she couldn’t find any difference between this and those normal jamuns. I have a recipe of Khoya Jamuns in my blog.

      Hi Aarthi,

      very delicious and u made it so simple this receipe.
      Though I dont understand ,the term ,,pulse it for few time,,
      What do u mean by that?
      can u clear this?
      thank you.

      @AnonymousPulse it for a few times means..You should add the bread into the blender or food processor and click the button for few times.so that any lumps from the bread will break down.

      @Samuel WisemI think u didn't squeeze the bread properly. You can add some bread into that mixture and mix them well. So the bread absorbs the excess moisture.

I closed it with a plate.. Not air tight... Was that the mistake??? Or the consistency of my sugar syrup was wrong???? Pls help... I'm planning to do it again today

      @sonaliyou have over fried it, so the outer has become too hard..just boil the jamuns in the syrup a little so it absorbs
