Keep aside for 5 mins and make equal sized balls. The balls should be smooth outside, but do not roll so tightly applying pressure. Just roll softly but until smooth. Meanwhile prepare the sugar syrup with water, sugar, powdered elachi and saffron, bring to boil and boil for 8 minutes to 10 minutes in medium flame. In between you can fry the rolled jamuns. Bring oil hot, not smoking hot, but hot enough to fry the jamuns. Keep in low flame and add the jamuns and keep rolling the jamuns gently with the use of the ladle inside the oil. Fry only few at a time. Drain in kitchen towel and immediately add it to hot syrup. Let it get soaked well. Serve.
