Wow, first to comment. The jamuns look so perfect and tempting to eat. Can you taste the potato? I am so curious, that I will give it a try.

Hi Sunitha,
Thank you for visiting my blog. Nice to hear that the jamuns turned out well.
Can you please tell me what is koya? and where do you get it ? Can we prepare at home?
Koya is also known as Mawa. You can make it at home by boiling milk and reduce it to a thick solid consistency. Or make Instant khoya, recipe available in the sweet section of this site.
