PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Chill the yogurt and glasses beforehand for an extra-refreshing smoothie.

If you can't find fresh jamun, frozen deseeded pulp works just as well.
3
Use ripe, deep-purple jamun for the best natural sweetness and colour.
4
Add a splash of cold milk or water if the smoothie is too thick after blending.
5
A pinch of black salt enhances the sweet-tart flavour of jamun - don't skip it.
