Notes

  • Amlas used for the Murabba recipe should be fresh and of good quality to maintain the shelf life
  • If you don't like Jaggery then you can even add the same amount of Sugar but Jaggery is a healthier version and had more benefits as compared to Sugar
  • Whole spices makes it flavourful and also has it various benefits
  • Keep it in sunlight for 2-3 days to enhance the flavour but this is optional
  • It has a shelf life of 2-3 months so no need to refrigerate it.
  • Use an airtight Glass jar to store them.
