- Add a small chunk of the dough in oil.If you can see,bubbles coming out from the oil, it will be indicating that the oil is hot enough to add the dough balls.
- Now add 4-5 dough balls at a time,not more than that.So that you can move the balls freely in the oil.It will help to cook it from all side and give an even golden brown colour to the jamuns.
- Gently keep moving the jamuna and fry them slowly till they turns golden brown.
- Once they turned golden brown,take them out from the oil and add to the sugar syrup which we have made earlier and let them soak the sugar syrup.
- Make all the jamuns in the same way and add them into the sugar syrup.when all the jamuns are added into the sugar syrup,cover the lid and keep them aside for at least 2 hours.It helps the gulab jamun to soak the sugar syrup properly.
Now take them out in a bowl and serve them hot or cold as well.
