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.
