Aam Ka Murraba Recipe | Here Are 5 Tips To Make Perfect Aam Ka Murraba:
1. Choose the right mangoes
How fruity your aam ka murabba turns out depends on the type of mangoes you use, so this step is quite important. Since there are several varieties of mangoes in the market, it can be confusing to choose which ones to use for making aam ka murabba. Aam ka murabba is prepared using raw green mangoes. If you use any other type, they won't give you the desired results.
2. Don't go overboard with the sugar
Aam ka murabba is sweet, but you need to be mindful of how much sugar you add. Always follow the quantity mentioned in the recipe. If you add too much sugar, the murabba will turn out excessively sweet - something we want to avoid. It's a good idea to do a taste check and add more if required. To make it healthier, you can even use jaggery instead of sugar.
3. Cook on the right flame
The flame on which you cook the aam ka murabba is also crucial. Always cook it on a low-medium flame to ensure it cooks properly. Aam ka murabba is known to have a slightly thick texture, which you'll be able to achieve only when you cook it on this flame. If you cook it on a high flame, it may result in overcooking and the murabba becoming too thick.
4. Add cardamom/cloves
Aam ka murabba also requires flavouring for it to taste good. For this, you can opt for cardamom (elaichi) and cloves. Grind them into a fine powder and garnish over the murabba once it's fully cooked. Both of these spices help impart a distinct flavour to the murabba, making it even more delicious. So, do not forget to add them.

5. Store it well
The way you store your aam ka murabba is as important as how you cook it. After it's cooked, allow it to cool and then transfer into an airtight glass jar or bottle. This way, you can store it for up to 15 to 20 days at room temperature. If you wish to store it for longer, place it in the refrigerator and store it for up to three months.
