Comming to the Recipe i tried Indo's way of making out jamuns.





For Khova:

In a wide mouthed heavy bottom pan add the milk and heat it in a medium flame (add a couple of stainless steel spoons into the milk to avoid burning)..Reduce the milk for 3-4 hours till the milk solidifies and becomes thick.Whip together yogurt and baking soda...To the khova add the flour and yogurt mixture and knead till it forms a pliant dough. (make sure not to add too much flour, just enough flour to make the khova pliant)Make 3/4 inch diameter balls and set aside...





For Sugar Syrup:



In a pan add the sugar and just enough water to cover the sugar. Heat till it comes to a boil,add the cardamom powder...Squeeze the half of the lemon (this is to avoid sugar crystals). Set aside.





Heat the ghee and deep fry the balls, adding a few at a time till golden brown.



Cool the balls and soak them in the sugar syrup...Let sit for a few hours.



Normally ghee is recommended for frying the jamuns, but regular cooking oil can also be used.
