Kala Jamun is a variation of Gulab Jamun that is darker in color and has a slightly different taste. The dough for Kala Jamun is made with khoya, paneer (Indian cottage cheese), and a small amount of flour. The dough is then shaped into small balls and deep-fried until dark brown. These fried dumplings are then soaked in sugar syrup, which is usually flavored with cardamom and saffron. Kala Jamun has a rich and intense flavor and is often served during festive occasions and celebrations.
