    So, these were one of my favorites. But I don't know if khoya is a requirement to make them. Also, can anyone tell me what oils are best to make the saffron infusion?

    If anyone knows much about this recipe, I would love to learn your secrets. I enjoy baking, and these are great party treats. I really want to share them with friends.

    I love Gulab jamun myself but I have never made them at home and nor had anyone I know. Its something you just buy at a sweet shop and eat it. No matter where you live there has to be an Indian sweet shop within driving distance. My advise to you would be to just go and buy some. It takes a lot of practice to make good gulab jamuns.

    Sadly, I currently reside in Uruguay, and there are no Indian restaurants close to me. I have to pretty much cook every bit of food at home, since the local cuisine is very basic. It has some benefits. Homecooked food is so much better, and a lot of fun, especially for dinner parties. I think, if I can get a good recipe for this, it would be perfect for guests.

    I just googled for a recipe and ingredients and I am blown away. I never tried this, of course, but I would like to try and make some. I see it is not easy to make it and I understand that it needs a bit of practice and patience actually. Making a milk solid pastry, and this is one I believe, is not simple. I believe that if I manage to do this, the frying and soaking in syrups will not be a big problem. If that is the basic procedure. It would be nice if someone have some advice on this. I really never, ever thought about using milk like this.

    Yes, exactly. I have looked at recipes online, and they are very basic. I would love to hear some more practical advice and technique. I think, as something new to try, it might be quite hard. Ultimately, when you know what you are doing, it is easy, but you have to get a feel for the ingredients and ratios.
