    Kala Jamun

    Jamun is my favorite sweet of all time. I have quite a few jamun recipes in my blog. You can check out my homemade khoya jamun recipe, if you want a instant jamun recipe, check out my bread jamun recipe. Now i am giving you another jamun recipe too. It is kala jamun.

    Ingredients for Kala Jamun Recipe

    • Instant Jamun Mix - 2 cups
    • Water or Milk as needed to make dough
    • Cardamom Powder / Yelakai - 1 tsp
    • Green Food Coloring - a pinch
    • Sugar - 1 tbsp

    For Sugar Syrup:

    • Sugar - 2 cups
    • Water - 2 cups

    Kala means black and this jamun is black in colour because of the double frying. And it takes little more time to absorb than regular jamuns. The cool thing about this jamun is it has a green colour interior when you cut open the jamun. It looks so cool. Now you go to the recipe..

    How to Make Kala Jamun

    1. Take jamun mix in a bowl and mix well so there is no lumps.
    2. Now add water or milk and make into a soft dough.
    3. Take ¼th of the dough separately in a bowl and add in sugar, cardamom powder and green color. Mix well.
    4. Now divide both the dough into equal portions.
    5. Take the white portion dough and press it slightly. Place the green ball in the center and cover it up.
    6. Shape it into smooth round ball and then into log shape.
    7. Heat oil for frying on a medium heat. Fry the jamun till they are golden. Drain and set aside.
    8. After 5 mins fry it again till it get black.
    9. Now make the sugar syrup. Place sugar and water in a sauce pan. Mix it and bring it to boil. Simmer till it turns sticky.
    10. Now drop the jamuns in the syrup and let it steep in the syrup for 6 to 8 hours.
    11. Reheat the syrup often to keep the syrup warm so the jamun will absorb the syrup a lot faster.
    12. Now serve.
