hi
today i made your gulab jamuns receipe. followed each step. first it seemed like a cup of h.cream would be too much but the mixture kept on absorbing it all. i got 16 peices out of it.look and taste so yummy. thankyou.
i like to make this tonight but Wipping Cream is a Heavy Cream ? can you get back to me soon pls?
I decide to make this dessert but i use cream milk powder - as in , coffee made :) i think i dont know what milk powder is? turned out very sticky.. do you have brand name for milk powder?
double cream or heavy cream will work fine.
milk powder: bought from Indian or asian shop, I will check the brand name next time I am in the shop.
My boyfriend's fat.
so i'm gunna make this for him =)
Thanks Chachi! <3
=D !
Tried the packet jamuns; what a disaster;:(
then I remembered seeing the recipe on the blog; thank god had all the ingredients at home(never happened before:))the jamuns are turning out okay.........I am frying them at the moments. Thanks Nabs
I like practically all your recipes but was not too impressed with your version of Gulab Jamun. I think GB tastes best and most authentic made with mawa. I know its hard to get good mawa in NA but if you get a chance you should try a batch with it. And when you have perfected it I hope you will post the recipe.
Keep up the fine work.
