How to make Kala Jamun:

• To make the sugar syrup, combine sugar and a litre of water in a large bowl and bring it to a boil. • Once boiled, lower the flame and simmer it until the syrup is 1 string consistency. • Add saffron and keep the syrup warm. • In a separate bowl, combine khoya, plain flour, cardamom powder and sugar. Mix well and knead into firm dough, without using any water. • Now, make small round balls. Make sure that the surface of the bowls have no cracks, else the jamuns would crack while frying. • Deep fry the jamuns over medium flame, until they get dark brown color. • Drain them and immerse in the warm sugar syrup for about 30 minutes.
