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.
