Potato 1 cup All purpose flour | maida 4 tblsp Baking soda a pinch Ghee 1 tsp Sugar 1 and 1/2 cup Water 1 and 1/2 cup Rose water 1 tsp (optional) Oil for deep frying
Boil the potatoes and mash them nicely. Best way is to grate them in a grater to make it even. Add the flour and baking powder to this .
Knead this into a smooth dough without any cracks. Do not add any water while making the dough. If u still find the dough very loose add little extra flour to this. Make this into small rounds .
In a pan heat the oil and when it is hot, keep the flame low and fry the potato balls into golden brown. Do not keep the flame high . Else the inside of the jamuns will not get cooked. Keep the rest of the dough covered all the times.
In another pan add sugar and add water. Once the sugar is dissolved, allow this to boil for 2 minutes and switch off the flame. Add rose water if adding. Drain the fried jamuns in a kitchen towel. Transfer the jamuns to the warm syrup. Repeat this for the rest of the dough.
Let the jamuns sit in the syrup for 2 hours. If needed microwave for 30 seconds and serve hot.
