  55. Jay I have tried making Jamun with milk powder and maida by sprinkling water to make the dough...I never used milk and butter.The jamun taste good but when added in sugar syrup it is not getting soaked and remains hard...Is it because of not adding baking soda?ur thoughts?Thanks in advance...
