WHY IT WORKS
Using semolina inhibits gluten formation, which leads to tender gulab jamuns.
Soaking semolina in milk ensures the interiors of the gulab jamuns are moist, not dry.
Stirring in rose water after the syrup simmers preserves its highly volatile flavor and aroma.
Adding acid to the syrup inhibits crystallization and keeps it flowing smoothly even when cool.
Allowing the gulab jamuns to cool slightly before adding them to the spiced syrup ensures the sugar in the syrup won’t burn
