7. Refine Oil:                          to deep frying

 Process for Syrup:

• In a heavy bottom pan bring the water and sugar to a boil. Stir so that the sugar does not get burnt at the bottom.
• Once it comes to a boil pound and add 2 green cardamoms and let it simmer on medium flame till its thick.
• Once done it would be thick and sticky (almost 12-15 minutes). keep this warm.

Process for Gulab Jamun:

• Boil the sweet potatos, peel, and mash.
• Add maida in it and mix very well. Divide into equal size round balls.
• Divide 1 tbsp khoya into very small balls as many as the number of balls prepared above.
• Stuff the sweet potato balls with kheer and one seed of cardamom. You can change the pattern of Gulab Jamuns if you like.
• Heat oil and deep fry the balls to reddish brown on medium heat. 
• Add fried Gulab Jamuns to the hot syrup.
• Keep aside to let the Gulab Jamun absorb syrup, at least 30 minutes required for soaking prior to serving.
