Jambul or jamun (Hindi) is native to India, Pakistan and Indonesia . This fruit is quite well known in ayurveda as it not only helps with diabetes but aids digestion. It has sweet and sour taste and tends to colour the tongue purple. It gives your mouth a dry sensation when you first taste it, but after a sip of water you will feel the sweetness back on your tongue.
This soup was just a small idea that turned into a recipe and is now featured on my Mediterranean buffet.

Hi Ajay,
I am delighted to see your blog as I feel that Indian cuisine has tremendous vegetarian potential, and it is good to see that you will highlight this here. I myself along with Indian food also love mediterranian, as it also provides good choice of veg. dishes. I will look forward to your recipes on this blog. Also I would like to highlight that Vaishnavs will not use wine, so please could you suggest alternatives when you post recipes requiring this as ingrediant.
