Method

  • Let’s make the sugar syrup first , in a pan add sugar and water and cardamom together and boil , once when boiled add in rose water and lemon juice (lemon juice is added for the sugar syrup not to crystallize ) 
  • To make jamuns mix all the dry ingredients first,milkpowder, flour, semolina , baking powder to that add the ghee and just crumble the dough.
  •  Add in milk,  one spoon at a time and knead the dough to a soft pilable one . You could add little more ghee if you feel the dough is hard .
  • Make into balls and cover and allow it to rest some 5 min (this is optional but the jamun is much tastier like that )
  • Fry the them in oil, make sure the fire is low and fry to golden colour .
