Kala Jamun
Product USP:
A decadent evolution of the traditional gulab jamun, Kala Jamun stands out for its rich caramelised crust and intense depth of flavor. The contrast between its chewy exterior and juicy, syrup-infused interior offers a truly unique dessert experience.
History of the Product + Ingredients:
Kala Jamun has its roots in North Indian festive traditions, where the deep color symbolised abundance and indulgence. Its darker shade is achieved by slow-frying khoya-based dough until the sugars naturally caramelise, creating a distinctive taste and texture. Often served at weddings, festivals, and royal feasts, it remains a celebratory staple.
We make ours using:
-
Buffalo-milk khoya from Uttar Pradesh for richness
-
Pure desi ghee from Gujarat for authentic frying aroma
-
Cardamom from Kerala for a fragrant lift
-
Rose essence for floral notes in the syrup
-
Cane sugar from Bihar for balanced sweetness
Shelf Life:
Keeps fresh for 2–3 days at room temperature, and up to 10 days refrigerated when stored in an airtight container.
Description:
Our Kala Jamun is hand-shaped from soft, creamy khoya dough, slow-fried in pure ghee until it develops a nearly black, caramelised crust. Once golden-black, each piece is soaked in warm cardamom- and rose-infused sugar syrup until the center becomes tender and juicy. The result is a dessert with layers of flavor—from the deep, roasted exterior to the syrup-kissed, melt-in-the-mouth core—perfect served warm for winter comfort or chilled for a summer treat.
