Gulab jamoon is an Indian sweet made out of Milk Khova. Milk Khova is what you get when you go on heating the milk and it solidifies into Khova. If sugar is added to the Khova it becomes a sweet called pal khova.
In some Indian cities you get unsweetened khova which can be used to make many sweets and one of them is jamoon. Khova can be made at home but it is a laborious process.
The easiest way to make jamoons is to buy the ready to make packs of instant gulab jamoons. it is available in all Indian Stores. The method is given in the pack as to how to make the gulab jamoons.
if it is the batter from the ready pack Just mix with water (take lesser quantity of water than specified so that the batter does not become watery) and mix very lightly and add 1 t spoon of ghee and set it aside for 5 minutes. make into small round balls.
if it is the khova you are using to make the jamoons mix the khova with maida (white flour or all purpose flour) (1 or 2 table spoons for 1/4 kg of Khova ) add 1 t spoon of ghee and make into small round balls.
Sugar Syrup.
if it is ready made mix the quantity of sugar would be specified on the pack. If with Khova for 1/4 kg of khova you would require around 1kg of sugar.
mix equal quantity of water as the sugar and boil it in a hard bottomed pan. Let it boil for around 15 minutes. switch off stove.
