Sweet dilemma
When I put the gulab jamuns in sugar syrup, the ghee floats on the surface and the jamuns break. How do I avoid that?
Damayanti, Malakpet
TO AVOID the formation of ghee or having floating ghee on the surface of the jamuns, make sure that the fried jamuns are put in sugar syrup after about three to four minutes after taking them out of the frying container. All the ghee should be strained before you drop the jamuns in the sugar syrup. The breaking of the jamuns can be due to the following reasons:
* The texture of the jamun is very soft.
* It has not been made into a tight roundel thus leaving cracks which makes them break.
* The jamuns are dropped in the syrup with a force leading them to break.
* The jamuns have not been fried the right way (circular motion) and thereby break.
