the only two things i can think of is that maida and sooji part
are you supposed to put in one or both of them?
And also maida is just all purpose flour right?
i also used non fat dry milk if that makes a difference?

Please help!

Thanks
Chester , it could be any of the following things :

1- when you mix the ingrediants make sure you dont turn it into a dough ..it has to remain crumbly texture

2- next time add some extra oil in the mixture ...

3- maybe you didnt dip them long enough in the sugar syrup.... next time dip them in for a bit longer

4- make sure you havnt over cooked them while frying the jamuns ...

Rest , yes maida is the self raising powder , and I use Nido instead of fresh dairy milk... and regards maida and sooji , you have to put both in .. follow the recipe as it is to see how they turn out .. once you have made them , next time it will be easier to handle doubled ingredients ...

Good luck...
