Kala jamun is simply gulab jamun made either in oblong shape or in usual shape stuffed with dry fruits or made as it is.Kala means black which means the jamuns are deep fried and dunked in sugar solution and served with chopped nuts.

Use any instant mix and make a dough with water or milk and make a soft dough.Knead the dough with patience and it should be so dry or so moist.Make a soft dough and it should not be stretchy like bread dough.Otherwise it will become so hard and took more time to absorb the sugar syrup.
