  2. Dearest saleha ,ASA
    i did en,t know why they were not soft,did the baking soda was new ,if the baking soda works and the sugar syrup is hot enough ,than it should be soft.
    for the baking soda ,and baking powder we usually do a test put a tsp in a TBS vinegar if it bubbles then it good i will work.
    also if the sugar syrup boiled too much and get little thick it also did not make them soft,i am very sorry ,we can do one thing remove the gulab jamun from he suger sheerah add little water about 5 TBSP MAKE I HOT ADD THE GULAB JAMUNS AGAIN AND COVER IT FOR 20 MINUTES ,THEN TRY.
    HOPE I WORK.
    THANK YOU FOR TRYING MY RECIPE AND HOPE I WILL WORK.
