Sakhar Amba

Simple sweet side dish to go with poli/chapati. As mango season is on the way here is my simple mango recipe. If you make sakhar amba with alphonso(hapus) mango, it will taste heaven.


Ingredients


Ripe mango 1 diced
Sugar 1/2 to 1 cup (amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of mango)
Water same as sugar
Cloves 2-4
Pinch of Cardamom powder

Recipe


1. In a saucepan add sugar and water and let it boil until sugar dissolves.
2. Now add diced mangoes and let it cook on low flame. As we are using ripened mangoes, it will take 5-7 minutes to cook.  
3. Once mangoes cooked add cloves and cardamom powder. Check sugar syrup consistency. It should be one thread consistency. If it’s not then cook it for another 1-2 minutes. That is it sakhar amba is ready. Cool it  and serve with chapati/roti/poli with whatever you want.

Tip
You can store sakhar amba up to 1 month in fridge.
