Gulab jamun in the making ;-)

1. Add the water, sugar and cardamom seeds together to prepare the sheera. Let it simmer while you go ahead with the rest of the procedure.
2. Mix powder milk, flour and baking powder in a bowl. 
3. Add ghee and oil to the mixture. Mix together to form a dough.
4. Make small balls and put in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
5. Heat up the oil. It should only be mildly warm before you add the balls to it. 
6. Deep fry the balls on low flame till they turn brown. Do not overcook to a dark shade.
7. Immediately transfer to the hot sheera.
8. Let the balls absorb the sheera for 30 minutes and then take them out or you can just let them soak up the entire sheera.
