Gulab Jamun recipe( with khoya/kova)

Gulab Jamun is one of the favorite sweet for all & iam so excited to posting this recipe.. It can be made easily with Ready-made jamun mix, I usually prepared jamuns with MTR instant pack.... I love jamun verrrrrrry much.. Usually my mom prepare jamuns for every DIWALI, awesome taste than the other sweets... She keeps some jamuns separately for my dad & sister, because I empty the container in few minutes.. :) I always drool When I see jamun Ad on television... I enjoy to have it & making also...

Iam a great fan of jamun, especially made with khoya... Though it takes very long time to prepare but the taste is really extra ordinary when compared with instant mix... especially it fried with ghee.. If you want get the readymade khoya available in stores.. Jamun is our family favorite too, our little hero JINJU likes it very much.... And i am so happy while clicking the jamuns, it came out very well & soon I will post some other varieties of jamun...The credit goes to my grandma, because she's damn good in making khoya jamuns & I learnt from her... I dedicate this recipe to all jamun lovers & enjoy ****DIWALI...*****
