Equipment
- 1 kadhai
- 1 vegetable grater
Ingredients
- 2 cups Grated mango
- 3-4 cups sugar
- 1-2 tsp ghee
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
Instructions
- Wash both the mangoes nicely
- After washing the mangoes, peel them with a peeler
- Grate or shred the mangoes. I used 2 large mangoes and got approx. 2 cups of grated mangoes
- Transfer the shredded mangoes into a bowl and add sugar. Sugar must be approx. double the amount of grated mangoes. (Note: - the amount of sugar depends on your taste and the sourness of the mangoes.) I added almost 3-3.5 cups of sugar
- Mix it well
- Cover and rest it for 15-20 minutes
- After 15-20 minutes, heat a kadhai or a pan
- Add the ghee
- Now add the cardamom powder to the ghee
- Add the mango and sugar mix
- Mix it well to incorporate the fragrance of the elaichi powder
- Let it cook on a medium flame for 10-15 minutes with occasional stirring
- Switch off the flame when you see jam-like consistency. Remove it from the burner and keep it aside. Do not overcook the murabba otherwise, it will become too thick, sticky and hard
- Let the murabba cool down completely. Store it in a clean, dry jar. Place the jar in the refrigerator to increase the shelf life of the murabba
