Mango Murabba is a tangy, sweet and aromatic raw mango jam or preserve. Tempting Aroma of Saffron and Cardamom mixture in sugar syrup will drive u hungry 🙂 🙂

Kids will love this as no strong  spices added in this preperation.. its basically a two ingredient recipe – mangoes and sugar. both are cooked till you get a jam like consistency and there you have a finger licking sweet-sour tasting preserve.

Mostly TOTAPURI mangoes are used for this Preserve. There is another version of Murabba, Popular in gujarat  called as CHHUNDO. the only difference is that chhundo is spiced whereas Murabba is not spiced.

There are two ways to make this delicious Murabba , By grating Raw Mangoes or simply by cutting in cubes. To grate mango for a large quantity  may be tedious but cutting in cubes in bit easy.

One can store this Preserve/ Murabba in a air tight container in room temperature or in freeze.  Murabba tastes best with Roti.
