I had already tried this Milk Powder Jamun last year but didn’t get it perfectly so didn’t post here.When I saw this recipe was very tempted to try again,also mittu who was sitting near by saw the pics and said she wanted jamuns.So I tried it yesterday and she loved it so much.The jamuns were soft,nicely grown in size absorbing the syrup, perfect atleast compared to the jamuns I’ve made so far 🙂

Check out Khoya Jamun,Bread Jamun and Paneer Jamun Recipes that I posted earlier.

Expert Tips

• The dough should be very smooth and don’t knead it as it will make the jamuns hard.
• Make sure to mix well before gathering for even distribution of ingredients.
• If the jamuns are perfectly cooked inside and soft then it will absorb the syrup well and grow in size.Make sure you soak them in sugar syrup as soon as you drain them in tissue paper.
• The syrup should be warm while you add the jamuns, so plan accordingly and make the sugar syrup ready.
• Fine rava is a must, else give a run in the mixie and use it.
• The balls should not have cracks, if it has cracks then the jamun will open out out while frying in oil so make sure to roll smoothly.If the dough seems to be dry sprinkle little more milk and mix it.Keep the dough covered to avoid drying.
• Regulate heat as it might get to low/ high in between so keep checking and adjust accordingly.
• Add milk little by little as it takes very less.
• I recommend adding rose essence, it gives great flavour to the jamuns.
• You can skip saffron and add cardamom powder, its purely your preference.But dont miss to add rose essence.
• Make sure you roll the balls smoothly at the same time not too tight. Dont apply pressure while rolling else the center part will not get cooked and will be hard while eating.
• Give atleast 2-3 hrs resting time for the jamuns to absorb the sugar syrup well.
• Make sure you keep in low flame while cooking the jamuns as it may get burnt easily.If the oil is too hot, then the jamuns may turn brown faster but it may not have cooked inside especially the center part.
• Make sure you have oil just enough for the jamuns to immerse fully.
• While frying roll and cook.Keep the laddle over the jamuns adnd keep rolling.
• Oil temperature should be just right for the jamuns to cook perfectly, else it will break or will not get cooked inside.
