Notes
- If the gulab jamun are fried on high heat, they will be hard inside and not fully cooked.
- Too much baking soda will make the gulab jamun too soft or cause them to break when frying.
- Don’t place the gulab jamun in the syrup immediately after frying, or they will lose their shape and be too chewy.
