Chatpata Amla Jam/Spicy Gooseberry Spread

Chatpata Amla Jam/

Sweet and Spicy Gooseberry Spread

Hi Friends,

Everybody know the benefits of Amla (Gooseberry). Its full of nutrition.  We can see lots of Amla Products in markets like amla juice, amla candy, amla murabba etc. My Kids don't like its taste. They can have only Amla Murabba if forced a bit. They don't have it if they feel its original taste in it. So they accept it only in hidden taste. I am planning to make Murabba at home. 

I always prefer home made things, as i am working women so spending time in kitchen is a big deal for me. I hardly get time to peep in kitchen after making breakfast and Dinner. Still i try my best to make things at home. Making Amla Jam or Chatni was on my to-do list since long. I tasted it at my sister's home. It was not sweet like other Jam we get in the market. It was sweet, tangy with bit of tartness.  Yesterday i made this and was really happy to see the outcome. I was more then satisfied to see my daughter enjoying it. She ate it with spoon. As there is no oil in it i carelessly gave her  2-3 tsp to eat. She asked for more then i asked her to have it in breakfast as spread on bread. She agreed and i went to bed with great relief. Try it guys your kids and family will also like it.

Notes:-

1. This jam is not sweet like other jam we get in market. Its sweet and spicy. If you don't like this taste then simply skip pepper and cinnamon pdr and increase sugar half cup.
2. You can make puree of amla and then mix sugar and cook. but this way it would not be easy to puree amla. moisture of sugar helps in grinding.
3. For more spicier version you can add some red chilly in it.
4. After cooling completely store in glass bottle for long shelf life. 

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT
