Soft, melt-in-the-mouth Gulab Jamun and rich, slightly crisp Kala Jamun made at home with simple ingredients. These classic Indian sweets are perfect for festivals, weddings, or any special occasion. Learn how to make perfectly soft jamuns that soak up sugar syrup beautifully without breaking.

GULAB JAMUN
Preparation Time: 15–20 minutes
Sugar Syrup Time: 8–10 minutes
Frying Time: 7–10 minutes (per batch, low flame)
Soaking Time: Minimum 2 hours

KALA JAMUN
Frying Time: 10–12 minutes (slightly longer for dark color)
Soaking Time: 3–4 hours


THE DOUGH (Common Base)
190g Khoya (Mawa): Use soft, fresh khoya for best results.
100g Paneer (Chenna): Freshly crumbled and mashed until smooth.
2 tbsp powder sugar
3-4 tbsp All-purpose Flour (Maida): Acts as the binder.
1/2 tsp Baking Powder: For that characteristic lift.

For Kala Jamun specifically: Add fine sugar into the dough. This helps in the deep caramelization (browning) process.

THE SUGAR SYRUP (Chasni)
The syrup should be sticky but not thick (no string consistency is needed).
6 cups Sugar
3.5 cups Water
lemon juice to prevent crystallization
Flavorings: 1/2 tsp green cardamoms

Method: Boil sugar and water for 5-8 minutes until it feels oily/sticky between your fingers. Keep it warm, not boiling, when adding the jamuns.

STEP-BY-STEP PREPARATION
The Knead:
Mash the khoya and paneer separately with the heel of your palm until no grains remain. Combine them with maida and baking powder. Knead into a smooth, soft dough. Do not over-knead or the jamuns will become tough.
The Shaping:
Roll into small, smooth balls.
The Frying:
Gulab Jamun: Fry in Ghee or oil on low heat. Stir the oil (not the balls) to keep them rotating until they are a rich golden brown.
Kala Jamun: Fry on low heat, the extra sugar in the dough will turn them dark purple-black without burning the inside.
The Soak: Drop the hot jamuns directly into the warm syrup. Let them soak for at least 2–3 hours.

PRO TIPS
The dough should be soft but not sticky. Over kneading will make the jam tough.
✔ No cracks on the balls - cracks will cause the oil to break down.
✔ Always fry on low heat. High heat = brown outside, raw inside.
✔ Syrup must be warm, neither cold nor hot.
✔ Do not use thick syrup — jamuns won’t absorb properly.
✔ Resting time is important for softness.
✔ For extra soft texture, add 1 tbsp milk powder.
