Its crucial to set your oven to a halki aanch when frying, this inturn makes the inside and outside cook together rather than burning the outside and leaving inside kacha. Try that if you haven't, otherwise I can give you another method that I've tried. Oh and don't put all your jamuns in at once. Do it a few at time in three batches if possible to see if your trials are successful.

Gulab jamuns are cake-like fried sweet balls. They look like this:

i give up, silly gulab jamans…its better to go n buy um from Ambala.:snooty:

My fav fav sweeties were those block ones, from ambala in white. Oh my good god, they were gorgeous, one time, in pak, I kidnapped an Uncle and went and brought boxes and boxes and boxes full and kept them in a freezer and ate them.

YUM. Memories, I remember eating a sizeable amount whilst watching pakeeza.

And the last time I went back I brought bags full of tikkas and kebabs. And ate them.

Sheesh, my mouth is watering.

O and PK, good luck.

I think Ambala is in India but Ambala sweets may be in Pakistan.

Okay no laughing or owt but here's a recipe for Gulab Jamuns from Thap's country kitchen:

Gulab Jamun

8 tbsp of full cream powder
3 tbsp of self raising flour
¼ teasp of bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp of soft butter
Approx 3 tbsp of water
Oil for frying

Syrup:
2 cups of white sugar
4 cups of water

1-Sift milk powder and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Rub in butter and add enough water to make pliable dough.

2-Mould into balls the size of large marbles or small sausage shapes.

3-Make syrup by combining sugar and water. Heat until dissolved and simmer for 5 minutes.

4-Fry moulded jamuns slowly in hot oil until thy turn a deep golden brown colour.

5-Put fried gulab jamuns into syrup and soak until almost double in size and soft and spongy.

6-Allow to cool completely and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

7-Eat 'em all up.

I'm still the hard man of gupshup despite doing a bit of cooking on the side.

is full cream powder the same as dry milk?
