Milk was added to the bread to make the Gulab Jamun batter smooth and consistent. Balls were prepared using the bread batter and some chopped almonds and kept aside. Then, a separate pan was used to boil sugar and water to make the sugar syrup. The Gulab Jamun was then fried in the sugar syrup mixture and topped with chopped almonds and served hot and fresh.
