Easy Gulab Jamun

1. In a mixing bowl, combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, melted ghee, baking soda, and cardamom powder (if using).
2. Gradually add milk and knead to form a soft, smooth dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add more milk if needed.
3. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

3. Shape and Fry the Gulab Jamun:

1. Heat oil or ghee in a deep pan over medium heat for frying.
2. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into smooth balls without any cracks. Make sure there are no cracks; otherwise, they might break while frying.
3. Fry the Gulab Jamun balls in batches until they turn golden brown. Keep the heat on medium to ensure they cook evenly.
4. Remove the fried Gulab Jamun with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil.

4. Soak in Sugar Syrup:

1. Immediately transfer the hot Gulab Jamun into the prepared sugar syrup.
2. Allow them to soak for at least 2-3 hours or until they absorb the syrup and become soft.

5. Serve:

1. Garnish with chopped nuts if desired.
2. Serve Gulab Jamun warm or at room temperature.
