Gather @all-purpose flour{40%g}, @whole milk{60%ml}, @green cardamom pod{6} and @vegetable oil{750%ml}.

Dissolve the @sugar{300%g} in the @water{350%ml} with the cardamom, boil 5 minutes to a light syrup, then take off the heat and add the @rose water{1%tsp}. Keep warm. ~{5%minutes}

Mix the @milk powder{150%g}, flour and @baking soda{0.25%tsp}, rub in the @ghee{1%tbsp}, then bring together with milk into a soft, slightly sticky dough. Do not knead.

Rest the dough 10 minutes, then grease your palms and roll into 18 completely smooth balls. ~{10%minutes}

Heat the oil to just 140°C. Fry the balls in batches, nudging them constantly, until evenly deep brown, 6–7 minutes per batch. ~{7%minutes}

Slip the hot jamuns straight into the warm syrup and soak at least 1 hour, until swollen and saturated. ~{1%hours}

Serve warm, two to a bowl, with a spoonful of syrup.
