What is Mango Murabba?
Mango murabba can be made in three different ways, one is cooking raw mangoes pieces in sugar or jaggery syrup. The second method is to mix all of the ingredients and allow it to rest for a day. Then keep it under the sun till we get the desired texture and consistency. The last method I know is to mix sugar and jaggery along with grated mango, cook for a while and add the spices. I found the last method as easy and simple, so I follow it. Mango Murabba is made with raw or semi-ripe mangoes.
Popular in Indian households, especially during summers, this murabba is known for aiding digestion, boosting immunity, and providing a quick energy boost.
I have learned it from my aunt. She taught me with grated mango, but when I was googling for it I found that the mangoes are cut into pieces. But choice is ours, we can grate or cut it into pieces. Add flavourful aromatic spices like cardamom powder, saffron, chilli powder and kaala namak. Include any spices also of our choice, but we should see that not a single spice dominate the other. It has a jam-like consistency but with tender grated mango or pieces that melt in your mouth.
