Doing a great job Xanti. Your recipes are very systematically explained and easy to follow. Could you please let me know…for gulab jamun do the jamuns need to be cooled completely before soaking and does the sugar syrup have to be hot or warm when we add the jamuns.
Hi Chris
Thanks alot for your feedback.
Well, once you deep fry gulab jamuns, drain them on paper towel first and then immediately soak them in hot(need not be very hot) sugar syrup.
For kneading the dough do we use only milk and no water is used at all.
Hi
No water , just milk 🙂
Hi,

Hi Diana
