Gulab-Jamun

In office my friend asked me about jamun preparation, I know how to do it but never tried all alone as always used to prepare with mom. Before giving her suggestion I tried this recipe in home and even given to my friend also… Initially thought of trying it with Khova and maida due to lack of time I end up doing it with MTR ready mix. I will soon update making it with Khova. It’s nice desert which can be prepared in time of 1 hour and served with ice-cream.
