Amlas are to be kept in zip lock bags in freezer for 3days. Then take it out and follow same procedure after amlas are at room temperature. No need of cooking it too. It comes out like market amla candy
I tried this but there was fugus attack on the top layer of amla on the second day. What to do?
you haven't dried it enough. you have to dry it completely.
It happened in the previous step. While storing the amla with sugar for 3 days. I kept it in a air tight container.
you have to keep it in fridge. did you do that
Noo, now I realized my mistake. Will try it out next time. Thanks Aarthi.
