Gulab Jamun is a favourite dessert for many of us. Kala Jamun is also one of the popular dessert in Indian Sweet stalls. Kala Jamun are usually dry and in dark brown or black color. Black color doesn't mean they are burnt. Its just we are deep frying them. Also we are refrying the golden brown jamun so they turn deep brown and also much more crispier. This is one of the tastiest and delicious dessert. Also, mostly kala jamun has a filling. 1/4th Quantity of the dough is mixed with food color along with powdered sugar and that would be so delicious. I have made a small change. Instead of just using a food color, I have made nuts powder and stuffed the Jamun. Try this Kala Jamun and I m sure you would love it !
