Looking forward to your reply. Thanks
Waleeja , I just saw your post , sorry mate ...

i hope its not too late .. lol

yes , lesser sugar in the jamun mix is better coz then there will be sugar in the syrup as well ..... the only reason we add sugar in the jamun mix is to give it that beautiful brownish color on the top ... sugar caramalizes when yu are frying it and gives tht brown color... if you put too much sugar in the jamun mix , it will get hard from inside and you will lose the soft texture jamuns normally have ...

I have tried both ways with eggs and without eggs and found that without eggs ones taste alot more better then with the eggs ... my friends told me the ones i made without egg tasted exactly like the mithai wali shop kai jamun !
