Making the Jamuns - Take the milk powder, flour, soda in a mixing bowl.
Add the ghee and mix well.
Add the curd 1 tsp at a time and mix well. Keep on adding little by little of the yogurt to get a soft sticky mixture.
Make smooth small balls from the dough.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot switch off the flame.
Wait for a min and then add the balls and stir well.
After a min or two switch on the flame and fry them in low-medium heat stirring often to get even color and till golden.
Add the fried jamuns into the sugar syrup. Let them soak in the sugar syrup for atleast 1 hour.
Serve warm or at room temperature along with the syrup garnish with pistachios and almond.
