Kala Khatta is a tangy sweet syrup which is poured on the crushed ice to make a dish called Gola. It’s like a ice candy and enjoyed by licking it. It is also called Chuski. Kala khatta is made from Indian blackberry (Jamun) which is generally available in frozen form in Indian grocery stores. You can also use fresh Jamun if available. You can also make it more flavorful by adding additional fruits to it like watermelon and raw mango. This would give a refreshing feel to your taste buds. Beat the heat this summer while indulging in this tangy refreshing taste.
