Gulab jamun recipe ( Gulab jamun with khoya / Kova)

October 17, 2013 by Raks Anand 94 Comments / Jump to Recipe

gulab-jamun-with-khoya

Gulab jamun with khoya/ kova, we can prepare from scratch at home for the festival of lights. In sticky sugar syrup it tastes delicious.

Globe jaan/ globe jaam – the name itself tempts us very much right🤣? That’s how I was grown up hearing the name of the dish. It is the most easiest sweet recipes that we can make for any occasions like Diwali or birthdays, anniversaries or any celebration. And I always drool when I see advertisements in TV or when I see the pictures in magazines. I am not that big fan though I like it, still I love to see it and enjoy making it too.

gulab-jamoon with kova


Enjoyed clicking this jamuns and excited too to post this recipe. I have tried gulab jamun with milk powder, but not been lucky to get it right, but sure will post one day when I get it right, I am sure I will get it as now I learnt from my mistakes. So to first start with, I wanted to be safe, so tried khoya version. I bought a pack 2 weeks back and was planning to try some other recipes with it, but ended up making jamun.

Its my family favorite too. Right from Vj, Aj and my in laws every one likes this. But always we make with readymade Jamun mix. MT* and Aach* are my favorite. Though I have tried all the packs.

Gulab jamoon

I have recipes for both jamun with kova and jamun with milk powder in my cookbook that mom gave to me, but the problem is measurement. She has given everything in bulk and it wont work for me. I wanted to try just a little first time. First I saw the gulab jamun recipe with khoya from Sanjeev Kapoor’s site, but it had chenna in it, So I referred Kaveri Venkatesh’s recipe from Palakkad Chamayal. It came out really perfect as she mentioned. I am now confident enough to try the other version with milk powder too. And this post is dedicated to all the jamoon lovers.

Gulab jamun with khoya

Gulab jamun with khoya/ kova, we can prepare from scratch at home for the festival of lights. In sticky sugar syrup it tastes delicious.
Course Dessert
Cuisine Indian
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 25
Cup measurements

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Khoya / Kova unsweetened
  • 3 tbsp Maida/ All purpose flour – 3 tblsp
  • 1/8 tsp Sodium bi carbonate cooking soda
  • 2 Elachi/ cardamom – 2
  • 1 & 1/2 cup Sugar – 1 & 1/2 cups
  • 1 & 1/2 cup Water – 1 & 1/2 cups
  • 5 to 6 Saffron strands
  • 2 Rose essence drops
  • Oil/ vanaspathi/ Ghee – As need for deep frying

Instructions

  • Bring khoya to room temperature if its frozen.
  • Crumble it with your hands and measure it.
  • Take khoya, maida and cooking soda in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Slowly add water (add carefully as less is needed) and make a smooth dough without any cracks. No need to knead hard, just gather with your hands so that it forms a smooth dough without lumps.
  • Keep aside for 5 mins and make equal sized balls. I made 27 out of it as I made it small. 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 so that it gets evenly cooked and fried to deep golden brown in colour.
  • Fry only few at a time, dont dump the jamuns so many in oil.
  • Drain in kitchen towel and immediately add it to hot syrup.
  • Let it get soaked well. Add essence lastly if desired.

Notes

  • If you have cracks in the dough or balls when you are making, sprinkle more water and make a smooth dough.
  • You can use ghee if its sticky, thought it was not sticky at all for me. If you want you can fry the jamuns in 50: 50 oil and ghee or oil and vanaspathi. But make sure you drain well in kitchen tissue.
  • If oil is too hot, then it gets brunt and wont get cooked from inside. So make sure you cook in low or medium flame maximum.
  • Keep turning the jamun while frying to ensure even browning. But be gentle.
  • Sometimes oil will get low in heat while you fry jamun, so make sure to keep the flame more in between when needed.
  • If oil is not hot enough, the jamuns will get cracked and suck more oil.
  • The Jamun may look too dark when you take out from oil but it gets the gorgeous red colour as it gets soaked in syrup. Cool right? 🙂

  1. Bring khoya to room temperature if its frozen. Crumble it with your hands and measure it. Take khoya, maida and cooking soda in a mixing bowl. Mix well. 1-step
  2. Slowly add water (add carefully as less is needed) and make a smooth dough without any cracks. No need to knead hard, just gather with your hands so that it forms a smooth dough without lumps.

Just roll softly but until smooth. step 2
  3. 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. step3
  4. Mean while 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 so that it gets evenly cooked and fried to deep golden brown in colour. Fry only few at a time, dont dump the jamuns so many in oil. step4
  5. Drain in kitchen towel and immediately add it to hot syrup. Let it get soaked well. Add essence lastly if desired. step5

Let it get soaked well in the syrup for 3 hrs at least and enjoy the soaked, syrup drunken jamuns!

    On the contrary, I have tried gulab jamuns successfully with only milk powder and other recipes and never tried with khoya! They look SO good. I didn't know Nanak had mawa/khoya too. Definitely getting it on my next trip to the Indian grocery store. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    Use sugar and water in equal ratio and once sugar is dissolved, boil in low flame. Do not stir much. reduce your time of boiling to avoid crystallization

    Use a little more water when making dough and make sure you roll a smooth jamun without cracks. If there is cracks, then only it happens. Or if you already fired the jamun with cracks. Let the jamun cool down b4 adding to hot syrup.

    Hi, I made jamuns using the ready made instant mix. But, since the instructions in the mix says that I should not roll tight, I rolled it lightly. So, I did not get the perfect round. Also, even if it is round, when it is fried, it gets a irregular shape. May I know how were you able to get the perfect round shape and also the jamun baked inside well? Thanks.

    One solution for this – sprinkle little more water and knead again and then make balls. Only if water is little less, then cracks appear. You can use generous ghee while rolling, but make sure the dough is smooth with required water.

    Add more maida and try. If it turns out hard, add little more cooking soda. Just fry one and see.

    Hi… I tried this recipe. The gulab jamuns came out soft. But if I put the sugar syrup in a large bowl, to give the jamuns space to expand, the syrup barely reaches half of the height of the jamuns ( not covering them). In a smaller bowl, no space to expand. What do you suggest?

    How long does it take for the jamuns to soak the syrup? It took 24 hours to get soft and juicy…

    May be you can try making more sugar syrup. No need to use very broad vessel.any vessel is fine. Its is the syrup volume that matters. If enough syrup is there, need not worry. Make sure any one, either jamun or syruo is hot when you add. This way it gets soaked sooner.

    Sorry, if using sweetened it will become too dark, can't replace it. May be try with milk powder then.
