Ingredients

  • 8 slices bread
  • 2 tbsp milk powder
  • A pinch baking soda
  • Milk as required
  • Oil for frying
  • FOR SYRUP
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3-4 strands saffron
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • A squeeze of lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp rosewater

Instructions

  • Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring it to boil till the syrup looks thick. There is no need to check consistency.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and cook for another couple of minutes. Switch off.
  • For making the jamuns, take off the sides of the bread. Pulse it in your grinder till powdered.
  • Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix well. Add milk little by little to make a smooth dough without any cracks.
  • Rub your hand with some oil and make the dough into small rounds without cracks. Set aside.
  • Heat oil till hot. When a drop of dough is put, it will sizzle up.
  • Drop in a few of jamuns and fry till golden brown. Drain and set aside on a kitchen towel. Repeat till all the dough is done.
  • Drop all the jamuns into the warm sugar syrup and keep closed. Let it soak up for half an hour.
  • Serve as is or with a scoop of ice cream!
