Banana Jamun Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Banana Jamun is a delicious twist on the traditional Indian sweet, Gulab Jamun. Made with ripe bananas, this dessert is soft, juicy, and bursting with flavors. The mashed bananas are mixed with flour, cardamom powder, and sugar to form a dough, which is then shaped into small balls and deep-fried until golden brown. These golden balls are then soaked in a sugar syrup infused with saffron and rose water, giving them a fragrant and sweet taste. Banana Jamun is a perfect dessert to enjoy during festivals or special occasions.
