Add lemon juice, cardamom powder and rose water. Turn off the heat and set aside.
For the Gulab Jamun, add the bread into a mixer and grind into a fine powder.
Add the milk, cream and mix into a smooth dough.
Shape and deep-fry the dough balls over medium heat until golden brown.
While still warm, soak it in the sugar syrup for at least 2 hours. Garnish with chopped pistachios.
