Note

A 200g (plus 100g/ 50% extra) packet of Maiyas Gulab Jamun Mix yields 60 gulab jamuns of approx 25 g each.
When you shape the dough into balls, you could stuff them with chopped almonds or pista or even chocolate chips.
For Chocolate dipped jamuns, take a jamun, squeeze out the syrup gently. Hold it with toothpick, then dip in melted dark chocolate, may coat with almond flakes. Refrigerate for few mins to set. Serve!
You could even add prepared gulab jamuns to curries after removing the syrup or make koftas from Maiyas Gulab Jamun Mix. The recipe for making koftas will be posted sometime soon!
Always deep fry jamuns on low flame. Else the outside turns brown quickly while the inside remains raw.
