Kala Jamun
I have tried n number of times to make Kala Jamun but have failed miserably. I took the saying "try till you succeeded" quite seriously and at last got my perfect kala jamun.
From my blog post: http://www.theflavoursofkitchen.com/kala-jamun-recipe
Notes:
1. If using homemade cottage cheese drain the all the water from it. Any extra liquid will impact the dough consistency.
2. If the mixture looks dry , add milk little at a time. till the dough comes together.If the dough feels very wet then you can add little flour to it.
3. The temperature of oil is very important. Too hot oil will brown the jamuns quickly from the outside,while the inside will remain undercooked.
4. The sugar syrup should not be too hot,else jamuns will shrink as soon as they go into the syrup. It has to be just warm.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a bowl grate khoya, mashed it well using hands, so that there is no lumps. In a separate bowl mash fresh cottage cheese very well, it shouldn't look grainy any more.
- 2
Add mashed cottage cheese to the khoya bowl, add flour, milk and gently mix everything using hands.Form into a smooth dough. (Don't over mix/Knead the dough for too long. stop once everything is mixed thoroughly)
- 3
Pinch small marble sized balls from the dough and roll them in a round shape between your palms,applying gentle pressure. If you want you can keep the balls round or make it oblong cylindrical shape. Shape all the dough and keep them covered.
- 4
In a heavy bottom pan mix sugar and water. When sugar is completely dissolved, add lemon juice and mix.
- 5
Cook the sugar water mixture on medium heat till it becomes thin syrup like consistency. Switch off the gas. Add rose water, cardamom and saffron.
- 6
In a deep frying pan heat oil on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, slide a small ball of dough to the oil. The dough ball should slowly rise up and start floating. It indicates the right temperature of oil.
- 7
Slide in the shaped dough balls in batches. Reduce the heat to medium. Once the jamuns start floating on top, gently keep on turning them to make sure even browning. Fry till it looks dark brown in colour.

Drain excess oil in a paper towel and quickly add to warm sugar syrup.Cover and allow the jamuns to soak in the sugar syrup at least 4-5 hours or preferably overnight.

Diwali is just a few days away and I jumped onto this opportunity to kickstart my Indian cuisine endeavour. Just like the fall of 2018, I wanna showcase a cuisine which few people know of. You might be wondering why am I saying that only a few people know of Indian cuisine; there are thousands upon thousands of Indian dishes recipes online. Am I delusional?The word curry is what the English use to name any sauces or gravies they found in India during their colonization. There are thousands upon thousands of different "curries" in India. You cannot find the same food in every mile of the Indian streets; every dish has many different variations and each has it's own unique taste. It is really that complex. Tikka Masala was not even founded in India, it is invented by the English. Naan is from Persia. Even tea was introduced by the English, Indians' main cup of beverages are milk or spiced water. Indian cuisine has suffered a huge misconception.When you are googling about Indian cuisine, your results will be curries, tikka masala and naan! But authentic Indian dishes are more than just that.Enuff of my ranting, anyway, I really hope you will give this recipe a try. Here I wish all Hindus a very Happy Diwali.
