Coming to the recipe, making gulab jamun with homemade khoya is my long time wish. Two years back I had prepared jamun with milk powder and cream and last year had prepared ready mix jamun, so this year I planned to make gulab jamun with kova and that too with homemade one… Am bet if you taste the kova jamun, you never want to try other types of jamun or ready-mix jamun. It was so soft, spongy and juicy with rose flavor.  We simply loved it a lot and you know the jamun was emptied within two days J Couldn't resist until Diwali…

NOTE
If your sugar syrup have impurities, add 1 Tsp of milk while boiling and scum layer will form on the top, remove it and then use.
I do not have rose water so instead of rose water I added rose essence, I strongly recommend you to try once with rose essence the taste was dangerously addictive.

You can use store-bought kova instead of homemade but make sure use the kova which is in room temperature.
I did not add milk or water to knead the dough, the moisture from the khoya was perfect for me.
Make medium size balls, because it will double the size while soak in sugar syrup.

Khoya-jamun

Temperature of the oil should be low or the jamuns will be uncooked from inside.
If the sugar syrup cools down while adding the jamuns, add 1 Tbsp water to the syrup and boil it for one minute and then add the jamuns.

The dark brown jamun balls soaked in sugar syrup will give attractive color. 
Keep it in air-tight container at room temperature or in refrigeration. Don't care about shelf life period, because it won't be in the container for more than 2 days...:)
