AMLA CANDY


Amla has got lot of medicinal values.  It is used in preparing lots of auyervedic medicines.  It is rich in Vitamin C.  It is good for diabetic patients.  During amla season, you can make candy and store it.  You need only sugar and amla for making this.  Sugar syrup which is obtained while making candies can be used as a amla sharbat so that it does not go waste.




Let us look at the recipe now:

Ingredients:

1/2 kg amla
400 gms sugar

Method:

Wash and pat dry the amla.  In a large vessel boil enough water to immerse the amlas. when the water is boiled, add the amlas and boil for 2-3 minutes.  switch off gas.  allow to remain the same in the hot water for another two minutes.  after that drain and allow to cool.  now cut the amlas into pieces.  put the amlas in a vessel and sprinkle 350 gms sugar on top of the amla, cover and keep for 3 days. by the time, the sugar will melt and  the amlas will settle down.  on the fourth day, remove the amlas from the syrup and put it in a plate and sun dry the same.  once it is dried, powder the remaining sugar and coat the candies with the powdered sugar.  I did not do that, by the time my candies got over.  You can store  it in airtight container.
