This tangy and yummy recipe is popularly made in Indian households and is eaten as a side dish to the main meal.
I share the perfect ingredient ratio and a few no-fail tips that help you to make the ideal amla murabba on the first attempt. Do try this!
The key to making perfect amla murabba at home are;
- firstly, I would heavily recommend using fresh and juicy amla for this recipe. you can either steam cook or boil this amla in an open vessel till it becomes slightly soft. Also, make sure there is no moisture in amla as it reduces the shelf life of pickles.
- Secondly, in the pickle proportion of amla and sugar should be equal. I take 80% mishri (sakar) and 20% jaggery with amla in this recipe.
- Lastly, store amla pickles in a dry and clean bottle or tin in the refrigerator for a long shelf life. scoop and take only the required quantity in a small container for one- or 2-days use.
