Oooooh this is tite. Only tip: some (garbage) people put a cashew or almond in the middle of each one, which ruins it, so I’d say don’t do that.

Absolutely! Make sure you fry it in medium heat about 180 and not more, else it’lll turn brown quickly without cooking inside. The sugar syrup must be thick and two strings sugar syrup atleast and please make a trip to Delhi for the softest melt in your mouth Gulab Jamun!

To be authentic, you need a wok full of oil to fry them in so big that it endangers everyone within 10 miles. pic.twitter.com/94AHA5t8fW

Try having some without soaking them in sugar syrup. The crispy fried balls are quite yum.

The Indian sweet Gulab Jamun is quite an arduous and delicate recipe that involves frying balls made with dough and khoya, which are then doused in sugar syrup. Interestingly, Chrissy Teigen herself has attended cooking classes as she recently shared on her Instagram profile. “Always forget about this but I actually did go to cooking school. it was a few months and completely expedited but it remains one of my greatest memories,” wrote Chrissy Teigen in her Instagram post.

With more and more people practicing self-isolation due to the growing epidemic Coronavirus, Chrissy Teigen’s tweet rung home with many users. She has been regularly sharing food pictures and home-cooked food recipes that she has tried herself. Her humourous style of writing too strikes a chord with her fans and followers. We hope she tries out more such Indian recipes soon and shares them too!
