This is another version of trsditional gulab jamun recipe. ‘Gulab Jamun’- classic Indian sweet or dessert that is very famous and is enjoyed in most of festive and celebration meals. Gulab jamuns are traditionally made with khoya but here I am sharing recipe with the ready gulab jamun mix. At my place for ready mix I prefer Chitale brand which results too good. My younger daughters favourite one. Soft, spongy and melt in mouth jamuns drenched in delicately flavoured sugar syrup. You can also make them with milk powder, sweet potatoes too. This is very simple easy and simple recipe, but for those who prefers sweet the traditional way, this recipe in not for you.
