Notes
- Make sure to pick jamuns which are firm and do not have wrinkled skin on it.
- Ice cubes works best for this recipe as against cold water. You can dilute the juice later if required, after blending with ice.
- You can add regular salt if you do not have kalanamak or black salt. However kalanamak tastes best for this juice.
- You can also add a pinch of chaat masala while blending the jamuns.
- You can also freeze this juice and make popsicles out of it.
