Making The Kala jamun Dough :

First take a bowl and make a soft dough with maida, rawa, cornfour, paneer(grated), by adding little milk and knead well till smooth.Divide into equal portions. Make sure there are no cracks on the surface.

Making The Suger Syrup :

Bring the sugar and one and one-fourth cups of water to a boil, till the sugar dissolves. Add the cardamom powder and place the medium heat to make syrup.

Making Kala Jamun :

Heat sufficient ghee in a non-stick kadai on medium heat. Fry balls till they turn dark brown in colour. Add the deep fried Jamuns into the syrup. Let the jamuns to soak for min 3 hours because the outer layer of the kala jamuns are more crispy than the normal jamuns so it takes time for soaking.

Decorate with the Shredded Coconut.
