Kalo Jam / Kala Jamun

Kalo Jam / Kala Jamun

Kalo Jam / Kala Jamun By Rownak Jahan, September 27, 2012Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook time: 35 minutes Yield: 16-18 Kalo jam/ kala jamun is a unique Bangladesh Sweet. It has similar taste like lalmohon/ golap jamun. But kalo jam / kala jamun has darkened texture because of using sugar and more firm. I tried to simplify the process of making kalojam / kala jamun. To me making any sweet is easy if you can keep or maintain temperature, using a range cooker can help you to achieve this easily. So temperature needs to be medium and it needs to be slow fry. If you fry it on high heat, its outside will be cooked; inside will be raw which will make hard sweet. Ingredients: For Kalojam: • 1 and 1/4 cups full cream milk powder • ¾ cup semolina • ½ cup self raising flour • 2 tablespoon sugar • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg powder • 150 ml thicken cream • Red food color(optional) • Oil to deep fry(I like
