4.  Heat the oil & fry the gulab jamuns balls on low medium heat so that the inner side of jamun balls gets cooked well. Keep stirring it for even browning. Remove once it becomes dark brown color.

5.Allow Gulab jamuns to cool a little before dropping them in sugar syrup. (Heat sugar syrup slightly before dropping gulab jamuns, if it has become cold.

6.Let the Gulab jamuns remain soaked in sugar syrup for 2-3 hours. 

7.It can be served hot or cold. Personally I love it cold!!
