Gulab jamun with milk kova

Gulab jamun with milk kova - preparation time 30 to 45 mins

My regular deepawali sweet after my marriage this is my saving recipe at most of the occasion. For me it is also easy to make recipe. Most of my friends kids will wait for my gulab jamun. Tempting sweet dish which my husband likes. He used to tell that it is not possible to stop with one or two when served.

First sweet which will get over during the occasion of diwali.



This is one of my favourite sweet. When young we will wait till deepawali to taste this sweet. Even our neighbours and relatives bring sweet but, we are crazy on snacks cooked by mom. Dad will order the plain kova in a regular sweet shop before festival. Usually they will get kova 2 days before deepavali.

Mom used to mix with maida in correct proportion else it will break or melt while cooking. While cooking this kova the flame should be very low else it will get burnt or dark in color without the kova getting cooked. Patience is very important to do this so it will come out very well. Now i got many fans(most of the kids and the family members) for my gulab jamun recipe.


Ingredients:-
Plain sugarless kova - 1/2 kg
Maida - 150 gms
Cooking soda - 1 or 2 pinch
Sugar - 800 gms
Water - 3/4 lts
Vanaspathi or Sunflower oil - 250 gms
Ghee - 3 tbspn (optional)
Kesari color - 1/4 tbspn (you can increase it is not very dark)


Preparation method:-
Mix the kova, maida and cooking soda well and make a dough.
Make small ball and then roll to long thick jamun.


In a vessel add sugar , water, color and heat. Once it becomes little thick than water(sticky) switch off the flame.
In a tawa add oil or vanaspathi, ghee and heat in very low flame.
When the oil  is hot add 6 to 7 jamun and fry till it becomes golden brown (it can be little dark).
Add this fried jamun to hot syrup.




The jamun will be very tasty and yummy. Taste it when you prepare else nothing will be left for you.



Note: If you feel the syrup is not enough don't worry you can make syrup with sugar, water, kesari color and add to the jamun.
