Default Gulabjamun with khoa - how did I forget it all these days?

For the jamuns:

Sugarless khoa 200gms

Maida 6 level tablespoons

Soda a pinch

Ghee 1 tsp

Mix the above thoroughly & add little water to make a dough.

The kneading must be done very soft & there should not be any cracks in the balls.

Rest for 10 mts & make balls.

Heat oil to just medium & add the balls.

Deep fry on low heat till brown.( not more than 4 at a time )

Remove, transfer to a tissue paper, wait for about 5 secs & put in syrup which can be hot or cold .

Syrup:

Sugar 400 gms – 2 cups

Water 400 ml – 2 cups

Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Saffron - ¼ tsp ( warm & powder )

Saffron colour - 2,3 drops

Heat water & sugar till sugar dissolves & add 1 tbsp milk.

Strain to remove the dirt collected

When it boils add spices & colour & remove when it becomes sticky to touch.

The balls have to be hot when you put in syrup - this is important.

Soak for minimum 12 hrs before serving it.
