Soft Paneer - 1/4 cup
Baking Soda - 1/8 tsp
cup
Cream - 1/3- 1/2 cup

Warm Milk - 1 tsp
For The Sugar Syrup
Sugar - 1 1/2 cups
Water - 1 cup

Instructions
Procedure
In a bowl take paneer and knead it until smooth. Mix together flour, milk powder and baking soda.
Add cream little by little and make a soft slightly sticky dough.
Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
Heat sugar and water and bring it to boil.
Add cardamom powder and set flamer to medium.
Let the syrup boil until it is sticky. No need to see the consistency for this. Just a sticky syrup is fine.
Take a big lemon sized portion of the dough and mix with pistachios and milk.
Divide it into 12 equal portions.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
Roll the dough into a ball, and press to form a small depression in the middle.
Place the filling inside and close it carefully.
Heat oil on medium low and deep fry the balls on low heat until they are dark brown or nearly black.
Remove from oil and set aside.
Heat the syrup until it is nicely hot.
Drop the fried jamuns inside and set aside for 30 minutes.
Remove the jamuns from the syrup and place on a serving plate. It may look sticky but after a while the syrup will dry out.
When the jamuns are still sticky, garnish them with chopped pistachios.
Notes
P.S:
Frying the jamuns on low heat is extremely important. Otherwise the inside will not be cooked and the outside will become darker fast.
