Ingredients
- 1 cup nonfat milk powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup paneer
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Pinch saffron
- 1 tablespoon crushed almonds
- 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (for filling)
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 green cardamom pods
- Cooking oil (for deep frying)
Method
- 1Combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, and baking soda in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
- 2Add crumbled paneer and mix, then add heavy cream and knead until a soft, pliable dough is formed.
- 3Divide the dough into 14 equal parts.
- 4Prepare the filling by mixing saffron, heavy cream, crushed pistachios, and crushed almonds.
- 5Divide the filling mixture into 12 equal smaller portions.
- 6Take one part of the main dough, flatten it, make a small dent, place a portion of the filling, seal the dough around it, and roll gently to form a smooth, round ball. Repeat for all 12 filled jamuns.
- 7Prepare the sugar syrup by adding water, sugar, and crushed cardamom pods to a pot, stirring, and bringing it to a boil.
- 8Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan (kadai) over low heat.
- 9Carefully place the raw jamun balls into the warm oil and deep-fry for approximately 8 minutes, constantly turning until they achieve a deep, dark reddish-brown color.
- 10Remove the fried Kala Jamuns from the oil and place them on a plate.
- 11Warm the sugar syrup slightly, then transfer the fried Kala Jamuns into the warm syrup, gently stirring to submerge them completely, and let them sit.
