For the sugar syrup

·       Grease your palms with butter before making the small balls.

·        Divide the dough into about 10-20 equal portions and roll them into round balls.

·       Heat oil on high and then lower the heat to medium. Place the gulab jamun in the frying pan.

·       Keep rolling the julab jamun around, fry until the jamuns become dark brown.Keep heat into between low and medium. Otherwise it is not fully cooked inside.

·       Let the jamuns cool off for a few minutes before placing the hot syrup.

·        The syrup should be made earlier and kept warm. To make the hot sugar syrup add mix the 3 cups of sugar to 11/2 cup of water. Add cardamom powder. Mix with a spoon and then heat at medium heat for 5-10 minutes until sugar is all dissolved in water. Do not overheat, that will caramelize the sugar.
