Sugar Syrup:

In a large pan add sugar, water and cardamom powder and bring to a boil and remove from the heat and keep aside.

Jamun:

In a bowl add milk powder, all purpose flour, baking soda, butter and mix it. Once it is done add milk slowly and make a dough- it might be little sticky. Let the dough rest for 10 -20 mins.Then apply little butter to your hand and mix the dough nice and form a small balls (there should not be any crack in it).                           

Heat oil in a pan and deep fry it and place it in a paer towel, let it sit down for 2-3 mins before placing it in a sugar syrup. Let it sit in the sugar syrup for 30 mins minimum. Serve with almonds , pistachio or else only jamuns.

If Jamuns are fried in high heat it will be hard in the center, so try to fry in the minimum heat for about 7-8 mins for each jamun.
