in this post i have used gits ready to make gulab jamun mix recipe and the same steps and procedure can be followed with any instant mix recipe. between, i have already shared the traditional gulab jamun recipe with milk powder. however i am sharing this recipe, because i was getting several request for a video post with instant gulab jamun mix. i personally like the former recipe with milk powder and i feel it is more healthy and tasty. having said that, instant gulab jamun with ready mix is a life saver for bachelors or naive cook or enthusiastic.
while with the instant mix, there isn’t much complicated steps, yet i would like to share some tips for easy gulab jamun recipe. firstly, i highly recommend to use fresh ready mix for a soft and juicy gulab jamun. hence, do check the manufacture date and expiry date before buying it from your store. secondly, i have used milk to knead the gulab jamun mix, however plain water can also be used to knead. milk is an good option as the result would yield more softer and creamier jamun. finally, i have used ghee to deep fry the jamuns, however oil can also be used. if oil is used, add 1 tbsp of ghee to it and then deep fry.

- also add few strands of saffron / kesar and get to a boil.
- further simmer for 4 minutes or till sugar syrup turns slightly sticky. (do not get sugar syrup to 1 string consistency)

- add 2 tbsp of warm milk and combine dough.
- make a smooth and soft dough adding milk (1-2 tbsp) if required. do not over knead the dough as jamuns turns hard.
