Instructions
Prep
Whisk milk powder, flour, and baking soda in a bowl. Rub in 2 tsp ghee until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add warm milk 1 tsp at a time, mixing gently until a soft, just-holding-together dough forms. Rest 5 minutes until pliable and slightly tacky. Divide into 6 equal portions and roll each between oiled palms into smooth balls with no cracks.
Simmer
Combine sugar, water, and crushed cardamom pods in a wide pan over medium heat. Simmer 5 minutes until sugar fully dissolves and syrup is slightly sticky but still pourable. Off heat, stir in rose water and saffron. Keep warm.
Fry
Heat 1 cup ghee in a small deep pan to 140°C. Carefully lower all 6 jamuns into warm ghee. Fry 8–10 minutes, stirring gently constantly, until deep mahogany brown all over and cooked through without splitting.
Steep and plate
Lift jamuns with a slotted spoon and drop straight into warm syrup. Leave to steep at least 30 minutes until they double in size and absorb syrup. Divide between 2 bowls, serve warm with 2 tbsp syrup per bowl, topped with slivered pistachios.
