Gulkand Kala Jamun is a traditional Rajasthani sweet delicacy, which is made using khoya, sooji, and maida. The sweet is flavoured with gulkand, elaichi powder, and saffron and tastes super yummy. This carbohydrate-fats rich sweet is deep fried to get the dark black colour and is also perfect in your festival spreads.
