Gulab jamun 450g

How Is Gulab Jamun Made?

Traditionally, gulab jamun is made using khoya which is nothing but milk solids.

To make khoya, we cook milk until only solids are left. At my home, mom always made khoya from scratch but it’s a tedious process. It takes hours for the milk to reduce and your hands are done by then with all the juggling.

To cut short the process, buy khoya from outside. In India, its readily available at sweet shops, here in the US you can find it at Indian grocery stores in the freezer section.

Gulab Jamuns can also be made using milk powder but I prefer the jamuns made with khoya, taste just the best.
