About Amla Murabba Recipe

Murabba is a sweet fruit preserve that is popular throughout the South Caucasus, Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. It is commonly made with fruits, sugar, and spices. Candied fruits include apple, apricot, gooseberry, mango, plum, quince, and winter melon.

Amla, also known as Indian gooseberries, grows on the same-named flowering tree. The small berries are round, bright, or yellow-green in colour. Though they are quite sour on their own, the flavour they add to recipes can enhance them.

Murraba arrived in the Indian kitchen from Central Asia.

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ Gooseberry - 12 big ones
• ▢ Sugar - 11/2 cup / 300 grams
• ▢ Water - 300 ml
• ▢ Saffron - 1 tsp
• ▢ Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
• ▢ Cardamom powder / Yelakai - 1 tsp
• ▢ Black Salt - 1 tsp

Instructions

 

• ▢
  Wash and dry the gooseberries. Now take them in a sauce pan and cover them with water. Bring them to a boil and simmer for 15 mins till the gooseberry is tender. Now drain them and allow them to cool a little. Separate the gooseberry into segments and set aside.
• ▢
  Now make the sugar syrup. Take sugar and water in a thick bottom kadai and stir to dissolve.
• ▢
  Bring them to a boil for 10 to 15 mins till they form one string consistency. When you lift the spoon from the syrup the last drop falling from the spoon forms a elongated string.
• ▢
  Now add in the gooseberry and mix well.
• ▢
  Continue to boil it for 15 to 20 mins till it gets thick and gooey. It will form three string consistency.
• ▢
  When it gets to that point, add in saffron, cardamom, black salt, pepper powder and mix well.
• ▢
  Switch off the flame and leave it overnight to cool down.
• ▢
  The next day the colour will be intense and it will be thick.
• ▢
  Store that in an air tight container and leave it room temp upto 1 year.

Notes

1. Always use clean dry spoon while eating the gooseberry.
2. If you see the syrup has turned watery the next day, boil it for some more time to get it thick. This must have happened because the gooseberry must have leached some water out.
3. Use fresh firm gooseberry for this. If you see any black bits cut them off.
4. You can make this with whole gooseberry too.
5. Make sure you get the syrup thick, because watery syrup will reduce the shelf life of the gooseberry.
