How to make Amla Murabba (Indian Gooseberry Preserve)

  1. Step 1

  4. Step 4

    In a large kadhai (wok), add the crushed sugar, jaggery, water, and boiled amlas.

  5. Step 5

    Lower the flame and stir continuously for one hour or until the color of the amlas changes and a thread forms in the syrup.

FAQS

  1. How long can I store amla murabba?

    You can store amla murabba in a clean jar for up to a year.

  2. Why should I not boil the amlas too much?

    Overboiling can cause the skin of the amlas to separate, affecting the texture of the murabba.

  3. Can I use powdered sugar instead of crushed sugar?

    Crushed sugar is preferred as it helps form strands in the syrup, which is essential for the murabba's consistency.

  4. What is the purpose of lychee powder?

    Lychee powder adds a unique flavor to the murabba, enhancing its taste.

  5. Can I use jaggery alone instead of sugar and jaggery?

    Using both sugar and jaggery provides a balanced sweetness and helps achieve the desired syrup consistency.
