Notes

I have used MTR Gulab Jamun Mix. You can use any brand of your choice.
I used a 6 cup bundt pan. You can use an 8 inch square or round pan as well. Whichever pan you use, ensure you don't fill more than 3/4th capacity of the pan.
Baking time may vary depending on the pan capacity and the oven you use. Each oven works differently.  
Wheat flour can be used instead of all purpose flour. 
Mix the batter just until ingredients are well combined. Do not over mix. 
In the part of the liquid ingredients, you can add saffron strands to warm milk, mix and let it come to room temperature and add to the batter. This also works well instead of adding saffron to dry ingredients.
