Now this is a no fuss jamun recipe which is made easily with milk powder. It is so easy to make and taste just divine. You just need a handful of ingredients to make this jamun. I made this jamuns just today morning and posting it now, so see how quick it is..
These jamuns soaks up the syrup beautifully and gets so soft. Loved it to the core..I have one more version which is made with paneer will share it soon.
You can add any nuts to the syrup while serving, pista, cashews and almonds taste good..
Hope you will try this out and let me know how it turns out for you..
Preparation Time : 5 mins
Cooking Time : 15 mins
Resting Time : 2 hours
Makes : 15 to 20 small jamuns
Ingredients:
Milk Powder – 1 cup (I used everyday)
All Purpose Flour / Maida – 3 tblspn
Baking Soda a pinch
Ghee / Clarified Butter – 1 tsp
Salt a pinch
Curd / Yogurt – 2 tblspn ( You can use milk too)
Oil or Ghee for Deep frying
For Syrup:
Sugar – 1.5 cup
Water – 2 cup
Cardamom Powder – 1 tsp ( I used 4 cardamom pods)
Rose Water – few drops
Saffron a big pinch
(My 1 cup measures 240 ml)
(My 1 cup measures 240 ml)
Method:
In a sifted, add in flour, milk powder, salt and baking soda. Sieve them together.
Now take this in a bowl, add in ghee and curd. Knead it to a soft sticky dough. Add more curd if needed. Let the dough rest for 5 mins while you make the syrup.
Take sugar and water in a sauce pan, bring it to boil. Simmer it for 5 to 8 mins till it gets little sticky. Dont need for the syrup to reach 1 string.
Now add in cardamom powder, saffron and rose essence. Mix well.
Take small portion of dough and shape it into smooth balls. The balls should be very smooth without any cracks.
Now heat oil or ghee for deep frying.Drop the jamuns in and fry till golden. The oil should be on low, when you drop a jamun ball in, the ball should first sink to the bottom then slowly rise to the top.
Drain and drop into hot syrup (you can reheat the syrup till it is hot and then drop the jamun in). Cover and let them soak for 2 hours.
Serve.

Ive tried this recipe. Came out so well and was yummmy!! Thanks for sharing. I do however see that if the syrup is hot and you place the balls in the skin of the balls go all wrinkled. Next time will make sure is only warm. Not sure why mine did that
@Sherry Titusthe jamuns should be hot and syrup should be warm when u drop in.

@Anonymousi think the khoya is too runny so it has turned out sticky..make khoya thick
Thank you very much for the recipe. It worked well for me.
Hi arthi, my sugar syrup has become crystals and jamuns got sticked to that in few hours .. What went wrong..
@Ambika Rathnamu have over cooked the sugar syrup. JUst remove the jamuns, add more water to the syrup and bring it to boil. Now add jamuns in.
I am going to try this recipe soon. It looks realy yummy.
Thanks for the recipe.
These gulab jamans were perfect and sooo easy to make! Thanks so much for the recipe. I think it took me less than an hour to make and eat them all!!
What does leaving them in the syrup for so long do? I let them soak in the syrup for 10 minutes or so and they already started looking soaked and puffy so I took them out. They still tasted perfect.
@Anonymousleaving them in syrup will make them too soft and they will fall apart.
Hi Aarthi,
The recipe looked so delicious i had to try it. However my jamuns didnt turn soft even when i dropped into the syrup.They werent rock hard, just not soft enough. Also they didnt absorb the liquid and expand like normal jamuns do. Any idea what went wrong?
@deeptiI think u have over fried them
Aarthi the gulab jamuns were a little bit sticky inside… it was very nice…. but wonder why it turned out sticky also my syrup did not become thick… it was thin only and i used the same measurements as suggested by you…. also the texture wasnt the way your pic is shwing (only the inside part)
At Christmas we would send our neighbors frosted sugar cookie wreaths and they would send back a plate of gulab jamun. I always felt like we got the best side of the exchange. They moved a couple of years ago and I have collected recipes and now getting ingredients together. I have the rose water, cardamon seeds (?), and the milk powder. I need to get saffron, I guess. Your recipe looks like one I might manage. Some recipes seem like such a large amount, I was afraid of rolling balls forever. I will try these when I find saffron and let you know how it turned out. Still miss my neighbor. I wish I could surprise her by makin her batch of these. Thank you for the recipe.
I tried this recipe twice and it came out well both the times. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
some recipes ask for lime or lemon but yours doesn’t. should i just leave it out then?
when you make syrup you can squeeze a little lemon juice in it which prevents crystalization.
This looks really delicious and easy to make. I am going to save this so I can make this later.
