Potato Gulab Jamun

Gulab Jamuns, i have a serious addiction to these beauties. I can never stop having them. Even yesterday i had three of those beauties which i bought from my favourite bakery. I love making them too. They can be made so many different ways, in my blog i have shared few variations of them and this is another one.

This jamun is made only with potatoes. They turn out so yummy. It just melts in your mouth. You don't need lots of ingredients to make this as well.

Notes

1)Mashing the potatoes is the main step, you can puree them in a blender or grate them using a fine grater.
2)Dont add too much maida, if your mix is sticky, then add another tbsp of maida. If you add too much maida then the jamuns will get hard.
3)Fry the jamuns in low to medium heat, a trick is, once you add jamuns to oil, dont stir immediately, leave them for a min them stir so you dont break the balls.
4)These jamuns will absorb the syrup faster, so if you leave the jamuns in the syrup for long time, then they will break up.

    @Anonymousthere may be two reason.

    1)you must have added too much baking soda.
    2)You have to add hot jamun to warm syrup and not hot syrup.
