Kala khatta sharbat recipe | Jamun drink recipe with step wise pictorial and video method.

Kala Khatta is a popular Indian flavor typically used in beverages and ice creams.

Derived from black grapes or jamun (jawa plum/indian blackberry), a fruit native to India, this flavour is obtained from one of these mentioned fruits mixed with various spices, giving it a distinctive tanginess.

A combo of tangy and sweet taste, often compared to black currant or jamun (Indian blackberry). The flavor is derived from a syrup made with jamun fruit or black grapes,  It’s a favorite among many for its unique and refreshing taste, especially in drinks like slushies and sherbets.

Right now, jamun are in season so we had every reason to make and enjoy this tongue tickling sharbat.

We are inspired with the recipe from here.

The making process of this sharbat is very easy and all you need are very basic and regular ingredients.

Choose the fresh JAMUN, which are called Jawa plum, Malabar Plum or indian blackberry. Make sure they don’t have puncher holes because it usually happens when insects infect them.

Also their stem side shouldn’t be soft mushy and full of cracks.

Sharbat will get its sweetness from SUGAR because Jamun is a tangy fruit in itself.

The original recipe has used 1/2 cup of sugar. Initially we too have added 1/2 cup of sugar but when tasted, we felt that it is less and then added 1/4th more of the sugar. So you can adjust the sweetness as but your requirement.

When it comes to Sharbat, they are incomplete without BLACK SALT. It adds a different kind of flavour to the drink.

SALT : Sweet and salty, this makes a drink worth enjoyable.

Roasted CUMIN SEEDS are added to sharbat for their unique flavor and aroma. They impart a slightly smoky, earthy taste that complements the sweetness of the drink, balancing out the overall flavor profile.

LEMON JUICE not only adds a burst of flavours and tanginess to the drink, but it also works as a preservative.
