No particular celebrations are required for enjoying wonderfully tempting desserts.The difference between normal jamun and kala jamun is not only that dark colour but the flavour, texture is also different because of the caramelised outer coating. I have already done khoya jamun in my blog and also check my soft jamun using milk powder. To make a difference we make these jamun as oval shapes but it’s not conditional to make particular shapes. I add desiccated coconut for
added texture and taste but you can always skip adding it. Iam not fond of adding colours unnecessarily to food items but once in a while we can enjoy adding it without any guilt, but it’s strictly my personal opinion. You can skip adding colour to the stuffing dough and simply mix dough and the nuts and do this sweet. There is no particular sugar consistency needed for making this jamun.Now lets know how to make this kala jamun sweet and enjoy the sweety goodness at the comfort of our very own home.
