Instructions
 

For Making The Jamun

  • Start with mashing the khoya properly using your hands until it becomes smooth and has zero grain texture.
  • Gradually add salt and flour to the khoya and mix everything well. Make a smooth dough.
  • From this dough, make small balls in a circular motion using your palms.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan over medium to high heat, add oil or ghee, and when it becomes hot, add the jamun balls into the oil.
  • Now reduce the heat to low and fry all the balls until they become golden brown from all sides.
  • Drain the jamun balls, place them on a kitchen paper and start preparing for the gravy now.

For Making The Gravy

  • Heat ghee or vegetable oil, whichever you prefer, in a kadai (wok).
  • Add onion paste and let it fry for some time. Next, add ginger garlic paste and fry everything until it develops a nice golden brown colour. Add a few tablespoons of water if the onion & ginger-garlic paste is sticking at the bottom of the kadai.
  • Now, add turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, and red chilli powder, along with salt into the kadai and stir well.
  • Cook it for a few more minutes, and then add the curd nicely mixed up with maida into the kadai and keep cooking.
  • Add the grated khoya and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • It's time to add water to maintain the consistency of the gravy, and then, finally, add in the jamuns.
  • Give it a nice boil and turn off the heat. Garnish it with freshly chopped coriander.
  • Your gulab jamun ki sabji is ready to be served!

Notes

  • You can even garnish this dish with a spoonful of heavy cream. 
  • Make sure to make Jamun balls small to medium in size so that it will be easy for you to fry them and they can be cooked properly. 
  • Make sure that you add the Jamun Balls into the gravy just before serving, otherwise it will soak up the gravy and become mushy.
  • To increase the richness of the dish, you can add yoghurt, cashew paste or almond paste to the gravy.
