Homemade Gulab Jamun

Hi! This is the first post I am posting from my blog. I was thinking of preparing a sweet on this happy occasion. I couldn’t decide. I remembered my aunt making  GULAB JAMUN from scratch. So I decided to prepare it.  Thank you Meena aunty for this yummy recipe.
The recipe I am posting gives you exactly 20 Jamuns. Some basic rules to be followed while preparing Jamuns are as follows:

1. Do not knead the dough with much pressure. You should handle it like feather.
2. Do not over heat oil. The flame should be kept at low. If you fry it on high flame the Jamuns will be dark on the outside but would be under cooked inside.
3. Buy cow’s milk from local milkman. You get more khova by this way.
