Kala Khatta Syrup

Method

Kala Khatta Syrup Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Tamarind Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine tamarind pulp and water. Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tamarind is soft.

  2. 2

    Strain the Mixture

    Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine sieve to extract the liquid. Discard the solids.

  3. 3

    Add Sweetener and Flavor

    Return the strained liquid to the saucepan. Add jaggery (or brown sugar) and black salt. Stir well and simmer for another 5 minutes until the jaggery dissolves completely.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Black Currant Juice

    Add black currant juice (or syrup) to the mixture and mix thoroughly. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Nice Cream Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Bananas

    Peel and slice the ripe bananas into small pieces. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.

  2. 6

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, add the frozen banana pieces, almond milk, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.

    Serve Nice Cream

    Scoop the nice cream into bowls and top with chopped nuts.
