Taking to Instagram, Vikas Khanna introduced a perfect fusion dessert celebrating India’s beloved mithai Gulab Jamun and the West’s iconic Black Forest Cake. In his post, he mentions that when he first started brainstorming the menu for his restaurant Bungalow in New York, the chef and his team knew one thing — they wanted to create nostalgia. For Vikas, his childhood birthday celebrations were very special. His mother served two sweets — Gulab Jamun and Black Forest Cake— every year.
Drawing inspiration from his fond childhood birthday memories, he curated a special dessert for his restaurant. He took all the ingredients to prepare these two desserts and created — Warm Chocolate Cake, Cherry Compote and Gulab Jamun Ice Cream.
