Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Spicy Sweet Black Jamun

  • For best results, use ripe, juicy black jamuns. Overripe jamuns may become mushy.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • If the jamuns are too dry while cooking, add a teaspoon of water at a time to maintain moisture.
  • For a more intense flavor, consider adding a pinch of black salt (kala namak) along with the chaat masala.
