Ingredients
- 4 milk bread slices
- 1 tbsp milk powder
- a pinch of baking soda
- 1 tsp clarified butter or ghee
- 1/4 cup milk for soaking the bread
- oil/ghee for frying
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cardamom
- few saffron strands
Instructions
- Trim the edges from the bread slices on all sides.
- In a bowl, take the milk, soak bread slices one by one and squeeze out the milk completely. Once all the bread slices are soaked in milk and squeezed, knead everything together by adding milk powder and cooking soda.
- Add the ghee and knead again. Rest for 5 mins. Grease your palm with ghee and roll out small balls.
- Once the balls are ready, heat the kadai with oil or ghee. When the oil is hot, lower the flame and fry the balls in batches till you get evenly browned jamuns.
- Make the sugar syrup by boiling sugar with water, remove impurities if any.
- Cook for 5 - 10 mins, till you get a glossy syrup. Add the cardamon and saffron.
- When the balls are fried, put them into the sugar syrup.
- Let it soak for few minutes and then serve.
