Experimenting with Cooking – Amla Murab

That is the salted version and this is the sweetened version. I will tell you how to make it. First wash and wipe out the water from the amla. The steam it for 3 minutes (not more than that, once the water boil to start then close the lid and cook for 3 minutes. Then take it out and allow it to cool, again wipe out the water from it with a cloth or tissue. Then take jaggery, if the amla is 500 gms then take 500 gms jaggery. Melt the jaggery by adding half glass of water (If the jaggery has impurities then make it clean (you may aware the process). Luckily I got good one so save the time for cleaning it. One the jaggery melt it completely then add the amla in it. Make sure the flame is on medium or lower. Keep stirring once the water become sticky you can add half lemon's juice. Then stir it occasionally and keep the flame low. you may take 45 minutes or more... You can switch off the flame as the water become honey consistency. On cooling keep it in a glass jar, you can have the same on the next day as it is instant. Please add little bit of salt to balance the sweetness. I will give you the link of the video too, it is in Malayalam but I think it has English sub titles. Even if it is not there you will understand after reading my description. Very easy to prepare.

@Sreekala Thanks for the description ..i will check the link

Congrats for reaching the payout well in the beginning of the month, really a nice work without even starting topics. Regarding cooking, it turned nicely but my children did not like it. Anyway hubby liked it. It is healthy as it cooked with melted jaggery and no preservatives added.

@DaddyEvil starve ? hope your mother did it to you when you did not eat okra

@Sreekala Thank you. Unless I'm ill or can't be here for some other reason, I normally reach payout by then. If your hubby liked it, then you can make it for you and him. Let the kids starve for one meal.

haha I can explain the taste once I tasted it. I too have not received money from here for the last two years or more.

@Sreekala Am sure the Murabba must be over by now.. how was it?

@mayka123 It was really worth for doing the experiment. I have prepared some more as the the season of amla is getting over in the market.

@Shavkat Recently I am not doing much but earlier I loved to do much. Now it is ready and I can store in a glass jar.

Ok I have been watching your discussions on it

@Sreekala I am impressed that you are updated me about my passion for cooking lately.

Do you like to prepare it?

@sarik1 It is a healthy option for us.

@Sreekala I have done never prepare. i like it much .but in childhood my grandmother used to cook.

This turned good and tasty. I am successful on cooking, most of the time while experimenting but sometimes it become a great flop too.

@sinari You are right.

@Sreekala Yes, it's okay to experiment in cooking. The more you try recipes, then I'm sure you'll be smarter in cooking lots of delicious food.

Amla is sour on eating as raw but after some time we felt the sweetness. Due to its sour taste many do not like it. But amla murba is sweet as we cook it with jaggery/sugar.

Have you succeed on all those? I mean, do you like it after preparing?

I made it successfully

Have you eaten it? I have not eaten the same yet. I will prepare and taste the same.

So you just want to eat and enjoy

@Sreekala thanks sreekalaji very good share
