Parry's Amrit Gulab Jamun Mix

Parry's Amrit Gulab Jamun Mix is a 175 g dry mix of refined wheat flour, milk solids and interesterified vegetable fat with a raising agent and an acidity regulator. You knead it with 100 to 120 ml water or milk, deep-fry the balls and soak them in sugar syrup (the pack suggests 900 g sugar to 900 ml water). The panel is printed per 100 g of dry mix.

CleanPlate scores it DB4. The D for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 12 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by refined wheat flour, milk solids and interesterified vegetable fat), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (762 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (8.8 g per 100 g).
