This is my creation of something nice and richer than the ordinary gulab jamun!! For very special ocasions or if your in the mood for something “different” and yet traditional… I just made up the gulab jamun dough and cut bits of white and milk chocolate into tiny bits and stuffed them into the jamuns. Flatten the dough and then add a tiny piece of chocolate of your choice..Not too much or else it will leak out while frying. When shaping the dough into a ball seal very well and take care to apply a bit of pressure so it seals well. Nitu Didi TIP: i used slightly wet palms to do this as the dough kept on drying up and too soft a dough makes the gulab jamuns soggy. Deep fry as the recipe says and put into the syrup!! WITH THIS I TAKE THE OPORTUNITY TO WISH ALL OF YOU WHO LOVE AND FOLLOW ME A VERRY HAPPY DIWALI. MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED
