gulab jamun using instant mix and you may think why she is posting and all.Being a food blogger,i love to make everything from scratch and this is the post for those who are struggling in making gulab jamun for the first time with the instant mix during festive occasions.

This is the DIY recipe and easy to make recipe within minutes and the trick of making this without any disaster in first attempt is to knead it gently with milk or with water.According to me knead it with milk to get melt in mouth jamuns.I tried kala jamun to post it here and to give some tips on making with instant mix.

Kala jamun is simply gulab jamun made either in oblong shape or in usual shape stuffed with dry fruits or made as it is.Kala means black which means the jamuns are deep fried and dunked in sugar solution and served with chopped nuts.

Use any instant mix and make a dough with water or milk and make a soft dough.Knead the dough with patience and it should be so dry or so moist.Make a soft dough and it should not be stretchy like bread dough.Otherwise it will become so hard and took more time to absorb the sugar syrup.
