When it starts to become a little sticky, add saffron strands and cardamom powder. Mix well and remove from flame.

Make small balls of the paneer-khoya mixture.

Add one raisin to each of the balls. Roll them again so that the raisin nuts stay intact.

Heat oil for deep frying over medium flame. Fry the jamuns until dark brown.

Gently drop them in the sugar syrup. Keep aside for 8 hours or overnight in the fridge.
