Recipe Notes

Notes

  • I used store bought khova you can use homemade khova too.
  • You can add rose water in place of cardamom powder.
  • Roll the balls gently on your palm,don’t overdo it,otherwise the jamuns may break while frying.
  • Slow down the heat for getting golden coloured jamuns.
  • You can serve hot or cold as per your taste.Tastes divine when served with icecream.
