   About Mango Murabba  

 

abcd

I have no guilt in naming myself a mango maniac and feel sad for all those people who are incapable to savor this captivating fruit due to some other cause. They are skipping out on a sensual, sweet natural gift from Mother Nature.

A similar variant to the Aam Ka Murabba is the excessively popular Aam Chunda, a special from Gujarati cooking. The difference is that the chunda is spiced with red chili powder and the murabba is not spiced with red chill.

Mango murabba is a sweet and savory Indian preserve made with raw mangoes, sugar, and spices which is a popular winter dainty in India as well as Nepal and is usually served as a snack. Mango murabba is also a good source of vitamin C and fiber.

There is just one more component that goes in the recipe which is sugar. It is cooked till a jamish texture is achieved and you get a finger-licking sweet and sour practice.

Aam Ka Murabba is a super flavoring with Chapati, Thepla, Aalo Paratha, Khichidi, Dal Fry with steamed rice, or any delightful North Indian feast. You can also savor the tastiness of this preserve as a snack after your feasts.
