Add little oil to the top of the dough and grease your palm and bring it to smooth dough. Leave it for 8-10 mins. Parallely start making sugar syrup.
For the sugar syrup heat all the ingredients together.
Let it boil well for 6-8 min so that sugar syrup will thicken slightly. Switch of the stove.
Now take the dough and make it to 20 balls ( the size may look small, but it will almost double when you fry the same)
Heat oil in a pan and fry in low heat turning them in between till its light brown in color. (The color darkens further once immersed in sugar syrup)
Remove it from oil and put it to the sugar syrup prepared
Gulab jamuns will start absorbing the syrup and size increases in almost half an hour. Keep it in the fridge when jamuns have almost doubled in volume. Jamuns taste better the next day. Serve warm or cold and Enjoy!!!!
