It takes about 5 minutes to get dough (Add a milk if required to knead .). By now the dough is like a dough ball that comes together easily, neither too hard nor too soft. 
Take pinches off the dough and make small balls . Remember, they are going to double up on frying so size them accordingly. Let this balls  rest for about 15 minutes

Once all the gulab jamuns are fried, gently and drop into the sugar syrup, keep the sugar syrup pan on a low flame for a few minutes,so that  the gulab jamuns become soft. (heating helps the jamuns to absorb the syrup and become soft ). Let the gulab  jamun set and absorb the syrup (it take around 2

 hours.) . serve chill or hot as your taste enjoy
