Instructions
Making the Gulab Jamun
Combine sugar, crushed cardamom, and water in a pot. Heat until slightly sticky, avoiding the one-string consistency. Stir in rose water once ready.
In a bowl, whisk together milk powder, all-purpose flour, and baking soda. Add ghee, followed by yogurt (or lemon juice mixed with milk). Stir until you have a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Divide dough into 14-18 equal pieces and roll into smooth balls, ensuring no cracks. Keep covered with a cloth.
Heat ghee or oil in a pan. Test temperature by dropping in a small piece of dough; it should rise slowly. Fry balls in batches until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
Carefully drain and transfer the fried gulab jamun into warm syrup immediately. Let soak for at least 3 hours.
