Mix the khoya, pistachios, cardamom, and saffron milk. Keep the filling thick, not wet. Divide into 12 tiny portions and chill briefly.
Gradually add milk to the gulab jamun mix until soft and smooth. Follow the package directions if they differ.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion, place a small amount of filling in the center, then seal completely and roll smooth. Ensure there are no cracks.
Fry over medium-low heat, turning gently until evenly golden brown. Test one first to ensure the filling stays inside and the center cooks through.
Boil sugar, water, saffron, and cardamom until lightly thickened.

Stuffing takes up space inside the jamun, so don't make the filling too generous or the dough too thin to avoid cracking or leaking during frying.
Can I use homemade gulab jamun mix?
Yes, you can use homemade gulab jamun mix, but ensure it is well-prepared to achieve the right texture.
How do I prevent the jamuns from cracking?
Ensure the dough is not too thin and the filling is not too generous. Seal the dough completely around the filling.
Can I substitute khoya with something else?
You can use ricotta cheese as a substitute for khoya, but it may alter the texture slightly.
How long can I store the jamuns?
Store the jamuns in the refrigerator for up to a week. Ensure they are soaked in syrup to maintain moisture.
What should I do if the syrup thickens too much?
If the syrup thickens too much, add a little water and reheat gently to achieve the desired consistency.
