Ingredients

• 200 grams Khoya (dried milk solids)
• 2 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
• 1 pinch Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 teaspoon Stevia (or erythritol powder)
• 1 cup Water
• 250 milliliters Ghee (clarified butter) for frying
• 3 tablespoons Natural maple syrup (optional, for soaking)
• 1 teaspoon Rose water
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios and almonds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, crumble the khoya, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 2

Add the whole wheat flour and a pinch of baking soda to the khoya, and mix well.

Step 3

Gradually add milk (1 tablespoon at a time) to form a soft, smooth dough. Do not knead heavily; just bring it together.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll them into smooth, crack-free balls (or an elongated oval shape known as 'jamun' shapes). Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying.

Step 5

In a deep pan, heat the ghee on low-medium heat. The ghee should be warm but not smoking hot. Test it with a small piece of dough; it should rise slowly without turning brown instantly.

Step 6

Fry the jamuns in small batches, stirring gently to ensure even frying. Cook them until golden brown and crisp, then remove and drain on a paper towel.

Step 7

To prepare the sugar-free syrup, boil water in a saucepan. Add stevia (or erythritol powder) and cardamom powder. Stir on low heat for 5-7 minutes for the sweetener to dissolve completely.

Step 8

Remove the syrup from heat, add rose water, and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

Immerse the fried jamuns in the prepared syrup. Let them soak for at least 1-2 hours so that they absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Optionally, drizzle natural maple syrup on the soaked jamuns to enhance sweetness and flavor.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds before serving. Serve warm or chilled.
