Method 

Sugar Syrup

• Bring water and sugar to boil for 5 minutes. 
• Add cardamom powder, once it started boiling. 
• Simmer the flame or Off the stove.
• While adding jamuns to the syrup, syrup should be more warm, but not hot.

Jamuns

• Mix all the ingredients together into a soft dough and close it with lid or any towel.
• Keep it aside for 15 to 20 minutes.

• Then make them into medium sized balls.

• Heat oil / ghee for deep fry.

• Before frying all jamuns, fry one jamun for sample. According to that result, you can manage the flame.
