A delicious Indian sweet made from fried dough balls soaked in a sweet rose-flavoured syrup.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine water, sugar, and cardamom pods in a pot. Heat on low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Sift together self-raising flour, Nestle Klim, cardamom powder, and nutmeg in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Nestle condensed milk and ghee to the bowl. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms.

  4. 4

    Break off small pieces of dough, about 15g each. Roll them into balls or shape them into logs.

  5. 5

    Heat oil in a deep pan to medium heat. Carefully drop the shaped dough into the hot oil.

  6. 6

    Fry until golden brown, adjusting the heat as needed. Drain the fried jamuns on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Add the fried jamuns to the warm syrup. Soak for 1-3 minutes, depending on your desired level of sweetness and softness.

  8. 8

    Optionally, sprinkle with coconut for extra flavour and texture.
