Ingredients
For The Kala Jamuns
2 cups crumbled gulab jamun mawa (hariyali khoya)
1/4 cup plain flour (maida)
3 tbsp milk powder
3 tbsp arrowroot (paniphal) flour
For The Sugar Syrup
3 cups sugar
a few saffron (kesar) strands
Other Ingredients For Kala Jamun
ghee for deep-frying
Method
For the sugar syrup
- Combine the sugar and 1½ cups of water in a deep non-stick pan, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 11 minutes or till the syrup is of one string consistency, while stirring occasionally.
- Remove any impurities which float on top of the syrup using a slotted spoon.
- Add the saffron, mix well and keep the syrup warm.
For the kala jamuns
- Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead very well into a very smooth dough.
- Divide this mixture into 20 equal portions and roll each into round balls, there should have no cracks on the surface as otherwise the kala jamuns will crack while deep-frying.
How to proceed
- To make kala jamun, heat the ghee in a non-stick kadhai and deep-fry 10 jamuns at a time on a medium flame till they turn blackish in colour from all the sides.
- Drain and immerse in the warm sugar syrup. Soak for 1 hour.
- Serve the kala jamun immediately or serve warm.
