Raw Mango Jam

The temperatures are soaring and there are mangoes to make your life beautiful. Be it raw mangoes and sweet ripe mangoes, the dishes one can make are innumerable. So this time, FOI is back with raw mango jam or maavinakayi gulamb or aam ka murabba. This is a specialty of North Karnataka and Maharashtra region.
Raw mangoes are grated and simmered in sugar until a jammy consistency is achieved. Generally murabba is not overloaded with flavours, it is kept nice and simple. Simple fragrant spices like cinnamon (dalchini), clove (laung), cardamom (elaichi) are used. Here I have used elaichi.


When making this raw mango jam or gulamb do not boil the sugar rapidly as it crystallises and makes the jam hard. Slowly cook the murabba to achieve the perfect raw mango jam. Large quantities of raw mangoes have been turned into jam or preserves for many centuries. As the word suggests, the fruits are preserved in sugar so they can be savoured throughout and moreover not letting them turn bad when the produce is high!
