    Nothing beats a gulab jamun. Most of the recipes available require you to deep fry the gulab jamun. All these years,we have been deep frying the gulab jamun.No matter what the stuffing is ,it was also deep fried. This recipe is for the air fried versions.Additionaly the ingredients are just sweet potato and milk powder. Not only it comes out well, there are less chances of any failure except the shape not being evenly round.

    It is actually a falahari gulab jamun.Super tasty, rich and yummy. You can also stuff it with nuts if you like. However, this version is a nut-free one.

    Yes so you can actually eat it during fasting. It is totally gluten-free. It does have milk powder and paneer in it, to give it that color.

    FAQs

    What is the difference between kala jamun and gulab jamun

    Difference between Gulab Jamun and Kala Jamun is not just in color.Other than the color, there is a difference in taste which is due to the addition of Paneer .I prefer fresh home made paneer that can be easily crumbled and added to the mix. While frying them ,they will get a dark brown color .The skin of the kala jaam is also thicker than Gulab jam.

    Variations

    You can make gulab jamun with khoya. You can also make gulab jamun with maida but that is not gluten free.Some people also make gulab jamun with mix.Many mixes are available like GITS, MTR etc. However, I like to make it from scratch. You can also make gulab jamun sabji Jodhpur style using the balls as kofta. These days cake and cheese cake with this flavor is also very popular. Some people also make bread  jamun these days.
