To make a syrup: Pour water in a saucepan, add sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat stirring until sugar dissolves add the cardamom and lemon juice and mix, don't forget that the longer you boil the syrup, the thicker it will be, so don't overcook it otherwise the gulab jamun would not soak the syrup.
To make gulab jamun's dough: In a mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients add the butter and use your hands to mix and rub everything together.
Gradually add milk to form a soft sticky dough, let it rest for at least 5 mins.
Rub some oil onto your hands to make it easier to handle the dough, divide it into equal small balls and roll between your palms until smooth.
Deep fry the balls until browned, drain and immerse them immediately into the hot prepared syrup.
Let the gulab jamun soak in the flavoured syrup for at least 1 hour or until double in size.
Take a large pot so there's plenty of space, pour in milk and bring to a boil on high heat stir continuously to prevent burning and overflow; once the milk foams up reduce the heat to medium-low add the saffron and simmer until thickened stirring every couple of minutes to avoid scorching.
Add in the cream followed by cardamom, sugar and nuts, cook for 5 minutes.
Pour the mixture into Kulfi Moulds or into serving bowls and freeze for 30 minutes
Notes
You can skip saffron if not available, the taste remains the same.
