Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the oil or ghee is not too hot, as this can cause the gulab jamuns to burn on the outside while remaining uncooked inside.

  2. For added flavor, infuse the sugar syrup with cardamom, saffron, and rose water.

  3. Let the gulab jamuns soak in the syrup for a longer time for a richer taste.
