1. In a mixing bowl, add the khoya,paneer and crumble it well. Then add the baking soda,cocoa powder and maida and combine well. Sprinkle a little milk and make a smooth and firm dough. Don't knead the dough.Cover it and set aside.
2. To make the sugar syrup, combine the water, sugar, cardamom powder and saffron in a bowl and stir until sugar dissolves completely. Bring it to a boil for 7 - 8 minutes. Turn off the flame and add rose water if using. Keep it aside. The syrup should not be too hot or cold when you add the fried jamuns to it. Heat oil in a pan for deep frying the jamuns.
3. Meanwhile divide the dough into equal sized balls and stuff choco chips and nuts,and make smooth balls without any wide cracks. Cover and set aside.
4. When the oil is hot (not smoking hot) enough to fry the jamuns, reduce the flame to very low. Slowly drop the dough balls into the hot oil and deep fry them.
5. Drain the oil and immediately drop them into the hot sugar syrup. Let them soak in the syrup for 3 - 4 hours.

1. If you are using frozen khoya, bring it to room temperature.
2. Don't apply pressure while making the balls. Just roll them softly into round balls. If you are finding cracks on the ball, apply ghee/oil to palms and roll them.
3. Don't overcrowd when you fry, a few at a time.Keep rolling the jamuns gently while frying for even coloring.
