FAQS

  1. How do I make Gulab Jamun using Gits premix?

    To make Gulab Jamun with Gits premix, start by preparing the sugar syrup by boiling sugar and water with crushed cardamom and saffron. Then, mix the Gits instant jamun mix with milk to form a dough, knead it gently, and let it rest. Shape the dough into small balls, fry them in oil until golden brown, and soak them in the warm sugar syrup for 1 to 2 hours before serving.

  2. Can I make Gulab Jamun with Gits premix dairy-free?

    Yes, you can make Gulab Jamun dairy-free by substituting the milk with a non-dairy alternative such as almond milk or coconut milk. Just ensure that the consistency is similar to regular milk for the dough to hold together properly.

  3. What is the best way to store leftover Gulab Jamun?

    To store leftover Gulab Jamun, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to a week. When ready to serve, you can warm them slightly in the microwave or enjoy them cold.

  4. What can I pair with Gulab Jamun for a dessert platter?

    Gulab Jamun pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream, which adds a creamy contrast to the sweet, syrupy dessert. You can also serve it with other Indian sweets like Jalebi or Rasgulla for a delightful dessert platter.

  5. How can I tell when the Gulab Jamun is perfectly fried?

    The Gulab Jamun is perfectly fried when it turns a golden brown color. Fry them on low flame and stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. If they are dark brown, they may be overcooked, while pale ones may not be cooked through.
