A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS
These thoughts are also available in the recipe card so that you can print them:
- Addition: The literal meaning of Gulab Jamun is Rose Berries. You can use rose water (gulab jal) to add flavor to gulab jamuns.
- Substitutions: You can also make smaller pieces of the bread using a grinder. Cashew nuts, raisins, or almonds can be used to stuff inside the gulab jamun.
- Checking Oil Temperature: Before you place gulab jamuns to heated oil, first you need to check whether the temperature is suitable for deep frying or not. Take a tiny piece of dough and place it on the oil. If the piece comes up gradually and steadily, the oil is ready for deep frying. If it stays at the bottom, the oil is not ready for frying, and if comes up quickly, the oil is too hot for frying. In this case, you need to lower the flame.
- Cautions: Do not overcrowd the frying pan with gulab jamuns, there should be some space between them.
- The quantity of milk depends on the type of bread used.
