You just need a handful of ingredients to make this jamun and every time it turns out super good. I have shared few options of gulab jamun recipe on this blog including paneer jamun, sweet potato jamun and potato jamun. Still confused, here is your guide to gulab jamun recipe.
What is Gulab Jamun?
Gulab jamun is a milk-solid-based dessert that is popular in India, Nepal, Pakistan, the Maldives (where it is called gulab ki janu), Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Jamuns is made with milk solids or milk powder, plain flour, milk or yogurt or baking soda.
Gulab jamun is traditionally made with khoya, modern recipes substitute for dry or powdered milk. To improve the flavour, it is frequently garnished with dried nuts such as almonds and cashews. Jamun dough is shaped into small balls, deep fried and soaked in a cardamom, saffron scented syrup to create a melt in mouth dessert.
About Gulab Jamun (with khoya & milk powder)
Gulab jamun is a melt in mouth dessert which is made with milk solids mixed with plain flour to form a dough. The dough is shaped into small balls and fried till crispy. These golden fried balls is soaked in syrup to create melt in mouth desserts. The world "gulab" means "rose" and "jamun"means "berry". Traditionally jamuns is shaped into small berry shape and is soaked in rose flavoured sugar syrup.
Authentic gulab jamun is made with khoya which is obtained by reducing milk to create milk solids. But few recipes uses milk powder for more convenience. Jamuns made with milk powder can create slightly different textured jamun than ones made with khoya. But both taste great.
Khoya or mawa can be easily made at home or can be bought readymade from stores. Traditionally in India, khoya is made by simmering milk for hours to create milk solids which is called as khoya or mawa. But the process is tedious and time consuming. So I like to opt store bought khoya. I have already shared 1 minute khoya recipe on the blog.
These jamuns soaks up the syrup beautifully and gets so soft. Loved it to the core. Did you know you can make cakes out of gulab jamun, check out my gulab jamun cake and gulab jamun cake mix cake.

Gulab Jamun Ingredients
For Gulab Jamun Dough (with khoya & milk powder)
Khoya - Homemade khoya or store bought khoya is easy way to make gulab jamun at home. it gives the right texture to the gulab jamuns and make it so soft and melt in mouth.
Milk powder - Milk powder is used in making homemade gulab jamuns to get the proper texture.
All Purpose Flour - All-purpose flour is used to bind the khoya or milk powder to make dough. Don't add too much plain flour else the jamuns will turn tough and dense.
Baking Soda - a pinch of baking soda is used in the dough to make homemade gulab jamun lighter and spongier.
Salt - like all sweet recipes, you need to balance the taste with a pinch of salt. Salt helps enhance the flavour of the sweet dishes.
Sugar Syrup for Gulab Jamun
Sugar - granulated sugar is used for making syrup. It has to be cooked until sticky stage. It will usually take around 8 to 10 minutes of boiling.
Rose Water - Rose water is used to balance off more highly flavorful spices, such as saffron, and to add a high note to mellower flavours.
Cardamom - cardamom adds a floral flavour to the syrup which can be skipped if you don't like the taste.

Super delicious gulab jamun recipe which is so yummy and is really easy to make. It needs simple ingredients and taste so good. Perfect for parties. Fried milk balls soaked in a cardamom scented syrup is the ellaborate description for jamuns.
All About Sugar Syrup
Boil sugar and water in a sauce pan till it gets sticky. Usual ratio for sugar to water 1:1. For every 1 cup of sugar use 1 cup of water and the boiling time is around 5 to 10 mins to get sticky texture. When you touch the syrup and rub between your fingers, it should be slightly sticky.
About Jamun Dough
I have shared two version of making gulab jamun dough in this recipe. You can use khoya or milk powder for making jamun. Plain flour is added to make dough and the measurements are adjusted. Whichever way you make the jamuns taste amazing. Make sure the gulab jamun dough is soft and smooth. If you make your dough hard then the jamuns will be hard once fried and won't absorb the syrup. Also don't over knead the dough.
Shaping Gulab jamuns
Take small portion of dough and shape it into a smooth ball without giving any pressure. If your dough is made the right way then your gulab jamuns will the smooth and even If your jamun ball is not smooth when shaping then it may crack when you fry them.
Frying Tips
Frying gulab jamuns is one of the most important part of making jamuns. You have to fry gulab jamuns low and slow till it gets golden in colour. This way the jamuns puff and gets cooked from inside out. if you fry gulab jamuns on high heat there are chances it might get brown on outside and inside will be undercooked.
Soaking in Syrup & Serving
Your jamuns and syrup has to be hot or warm when you soak them. This way they absorb the syrup better. If you make your sugar syrup in advance, reheat them before adding fried jamun balls into it. Serve gulab jamuns hot, warm or cold. You can serve them with vanilla ice cream.
Step by Step Guide for Gulab Jamun
Sugar Syrup for Gulab Jamun
1)Take sugar in a large sauce pan. Make sure to use large pot that can fit all the fried gulab jamuns.
2)Pour water over sugar. You need to use 1 part sugar to 1 part water. I usually use 500 grams sugar to 500 ml water.
3)Bring sugar and water to a full boil. Boil this for 5 to 10 minutes till the syrup gets sticky.
4)Add in crushed cardamom. This is optional, you can skip cardamom if you don't prefer the flavour.
5)Add in a pinch of saffron. This is for colour and flavour.
6)Add in rose extract. Rose adds so much flavour to the syrup.
7)Now the sugar syrup is ready. You can store the syrup warm until fried jamuns is soaked.

- Mashing the khoya is the main step, so mash them till smooth before adding plain flour. The dough has to be soft, hence the jamun will be soft.
- Don't add too much maida, if your mix is sticky, then add another tblspn of maida. If you add too much maida then the jamuns will get hard.
- Fry the jamuns in low to medium heat, a trick is, once you add jamuns to oil, don't stir immediately, leave them for a min them stir so you don't break the balls. You can fry the jamuns in ghee or oil.

Troubleshooting
1)Why my gulab jamuns turn hard, dense?
Gulab jamun dough has to be soft. So use enough moisture (milk) when making gulab jamun dough. If you don't add enough liquid in your dough then it may be tough which will result in hard and dense jamuns.
2)Why my gulab jamuns are too soft and break?
Too much raising agents like baking soda, baking powder or too much of paneer and khoya can result in too soft jamuns. Also don't make your jamun too soft. If you find the jamun dough is too soft to handle, sprinkle some extra flour and mix.
3)Why my gulab jamuns cracked?
The dough is too tough which created cracks in your jamun balls. These cracks will expand as they fry and further when they soak. So make sure your dough is soft.

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,

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.

raj
some recipes ask for lime or lemon but yours doesn't. should i just leave it out then?
Aarthi
when you make syrup you can squeeze a little lemon juice in it which prevents crystalization.
