Kala jamun

Method

1. 1 Knead the milk powder with the crushed paneer and flour until a smooth dough is formed, without adding water.
2. 2 Shape the dough into smooth, round balls and insert a pistachio in the center of each ball.
3. 3 Fry the ghee at 140 degrees for 12 minutes until the crust turns dark brown, almost black.
4. 4 Frying them for a long time over low heat until they turn dark brown is the difference from the pale yellow ones.
5. 5 High heat will cause the outer layer to blacken while the inside remains raw; it must be maintained at exactly 140 degrees.
6. 6 Soak the hot pills in warm syrup made with cardamom and rose water for 2 hours.
