MTR Gulab Jamun Recipe<\/strong> is very easy to make. You can prepare it at home. It does not take much time.<\/p>\n

We used MTR Ready Mix for this recipe. It makes the preparation quick and easy. The result is also delicious.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have MTR Ready Mix at home? You can buy it online. You can buy MTR Gulab Jamun Ready Mix from Amazon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also filled the gulab jamuns with cashews. Cashews add a light crunch. You can use other dry fruits too. You can also skip the filling.<\/p>\n

Sugar Syrup for Gulab Jamun<\/h2>\n

Making the sugar syrup is very easy. We used sugar and water. Then, we added a few saffron strands.<\/p>\n

Next, add some rose water. Finish with a little cardamom powder. This gives the syrup a wonderful aroma.<\/p>\n

Do not make the syrup too thick. Keep it slightly sticky.<\/p>\n

The Right Way to Fry Gulab Jamun<\/h3>\n

The oil should not be too hot. Keep the heat low. This helps the gulab jamuns cook evenly.<\/p>\n

Fry the gulab jamuns slowly. Turn them gently while frying. Cook until they become golden brown.<\/p>\n

Do not fry them over high heat. The outside may brown too quickly. The inside may remain undercooked.<\/p>\n

Soak the Gulab Jamun in Sugar Syrup<\/h3>\n

Add the fried gulab jamuns to the syrup. Let them soak for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

This helps them absorb the syrup. The gulab jamuns become juicy. They also remain incredibly soft.<\/p>\n

Your halwai-style gulab jamun<\/strong> is now ready. Serve and enjoy them with your family.<\/p>\n
