- Heat a heavy bottomed pan on a low flame. Add sugar, saffron strings and water and heat the sugar solution till the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not make it too sticky. Add cardamom powder and mix well. Switch off the flame once the sugar is dissolved fully. Ensure that it does not reach the one string consistency.
- Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. When it is medium hot, lower the flame and gently slide the balls into the oil. Roll the jamuns with a ladle for even cooking and colouring. Add 3-4 jamuns at a time so that it is evenly cooked.
- NOTES/TIPS: - - Dont knead the dough. Just gently mix and form the balls. If the mixture is dry, add few drops of milk or water and then form balls. - - Ensure there are no lumps or small bits in the khoya. You can also grate the khoya. - - Ensure there are no cracks in the balls. Otherwise it might break while frying. - - While deep frying, oil should be low hot to ensure even cooking and coloring.
