Khoya / Mawa Gulab Jamuns Recipe

 Hari Chandana PIndianDessert
Prep Time: 10 mins    |  Cook time: 20 mins    |  Makes: 17 – 20 



Ingredients:

For the Jamuns:

  • 1 cup Unsweetened Khoya / Kova, crumbled
  • 2.5 tbsp Plain Flour / Maida
  • 1/8 tsp Baking Soda
  • A pinch of Cardamom Powder
  • Oil / Ghee for deep frying

For the Sugar Syrup:

  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1/4 tsp Cardamom Powder
  • A few strands of Saffron (optional)
  • 2 drops of Rose Water (optional)

Method:


  • If you are using frozen khoya, bring it to room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the khoya and crumble it well.
  • Then add the baking soda and maida and combine well.
  • Sprinkle a little water and make a smooth and firm dough. Don’t knead the dough.
  • Cover it and set aside.
  • To make the sugar syrup, combine the water, sugar, cardamom powder and saffron in a bowl and stir until sugar dissolves completely.
  • Bring it to a boil for 7 – 8 minutes. Turn off the flame and add rose water if using.
  • Keep it aside. 
  • The syrup should not be too hot or cold when you add the fried jamuns to it.
  • Heat oil in a pan for deep frying the jamuns. 
  • Meanwhile divide the dough into equal sized balls and make smooth balls without any wide cracks.
  • Don’t apply pressure while making the balls. Just roll them softly into round balls. Cover and set aside.
  • When the oil is hot (not smoking hot) enough to fry the jamuns, reduce the flame to very low.
  • Slowly drop the dough balls into the hot oil and deep fry them until deep brown color (refer the image).
  • Don’t overcrowd, fry a few at a time.
  • Keep rolling the jamuns gently while frying for even browning.
  • Drain in kitchen towel and immediately drop them into the hot sugar syrup. 
  • Let them soak in the syrup for 3 – 4 hours.
  • Serve warm or cold.
