Method: (Using Gits ready mix packet)Jamuns
1. Follow instructions on the packet. Be very careful while adding the water - better to start with less than instructed.
2. Apply butter to palms to prevent stickiness, roll mix into a soft dough, cover and keep aside for 10 mins.
3. Roll into smooth 1" balls with no cracks.
4. Heat some oil (med), mix with butter/ghee (optional ).
5. Heat one jamun to test - be careful that the oil is not smoking hot otherwise the outside will brown quickly, but inside will be uncooked.
6. Keep moving the balls gently around with the spoon. Remove and drain on paper towel.
7. Put 5-6 jamuns in one by one, and cook on medium flame till golden brown.
Sugar Syrup
1. Mix 2 cups sugar, 1.5 cup water & bring to boil for about 20 mins until it thickens slightly.
2. Add a cardamon or rose water for fragrant flavouring.
3. Add all the jamuns in the syrup and give one gentle boil. Remove from stove & cool.
Can be re-heated to serve warm or cold as desired. Sometimes jamun is served with a blob of vanilla icecream!
