Bread Gulab Jamun

This is an instant version of the Gulab Jamun Recipe with powdered bread crumbs and milk powder.
Perhaps one of the easiest Gulab Jamun Recipe out of all the variations. However, if you like your Gulab Jamun, to be softer, than Bread Gulab Jamun can be disappointing. Bread is made of all purpose flour and when deep fried it tends to become hard. Hence Bread Gulab Jamun would be harder compared to milk powder Gulab Jamun or khoya Gulab Jamun Recipe. But, trust me this can be an easy alternative, especially if you have some left over breads.
                                                                 Besides, some important tips for a soft and juicy Bread Gulab Jamun Recipe. Firstly, try to use white sandwich bread for this recipe. I do not recommend whole-meal bread or atta bread for instant Gulab Jamun. Secondly, fry the jamun balls in a low flame. This holds good for the traditional Gulab Jamun Recipe too. Moreover, I have not added baking soda for this recipe, but a pinch can be added to make it more fluffy. Lastly, add a teaspoon of rose water. But it is completely optional and not mandatory.
