Dough preparation
In a large bowl, grate or crumble the khoya. Add all-purpose flour (maida),little cardamom powder to it. Mix it well.Now add 1 tsp ghee and mix again. Add milk little at a time, so the dough starts to form. Cover with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for 30 mins.
2
Making sugar syrup
In a bowl, add sugar, water, cardamom pods. Bring to a boil. Then simmer for 7 minutes. Do not overcook the syrup. The sugar syrup thickens when as it cools, so it shouldn’t look too thick.

Frying and soaking the Gulab Jamun
Heat the ghee well in a fry pan. Fry on medium-low heat. Add them to the syrup while the syrup is warm (not boiling hot), so they soak in all the sweetness and become soft. Garnish with chopped nuts and serve.
