Giant Gulab Jamun

Method

1. Melt the butter in a pan. Add the milk and semolina, stirring constantly until a thick, workable dough forms.
2. Allow the dough to cool, then knead in the crushed cardamom pods. Shape into a large sphere.
3. Prepare the sugar syrup: combine water and sugar in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool slightly.
4. Fry the sphere in plenty of hot vegetable oil until golden brown on all sides. Since it is too large to submerge, turn it carefully.
5. Remove from oil, place on a plate, and pour the warm syrup over the ball. Let it absorb the syrup before serving.
