Amla powder, Amla pickle, Amla sweet pickle, sweet chutney or Amla candy. Here, we
will tell you how to make Amla candy. You can store this tasty candy and eat it any time.
You can make it sweet or spicy according to your choice.
Put Amla in a strainer and wash them well. Take a utensil, wash it and fill enough water
in it so that the Amlas will be submerged easily then put it on fire for boiling. When
water begins to boil put the Amlas in boiling water. After the water starts boiling again
keep it boiling for 2 minutes then put off fire and cover these Amlas for 5 minutes with a
utensil. Make sure that you don’t put the Amlas into the utensils before the water starts
boiling. Put the Amlas for cooking only when the water is already boiling.
Put these Amlas in a strainer and when they become cold, slice them up using a knife and
throw the kernels away. Put the pieces of Amla in another utensil and pour around 650
gms of sugar so that it covers the Amlas. Keep the utensil for a day. Powder the
remaining 50 gm sugar.
Next day you will find that the sugar has turned into a syrup and Amla pieces are floating
in this sugar. Stir the syrup and cover it for another 2-3 days.
After 2-3 days, these pieces will not float and will sink to bottom of utensil because they
have soaked up the sugar syrup and become heavier due to that. Now sieve these pieces
from syrup and put them in Sunlight to dry. After drying , coat these Amlas with the
powdered sugar.
Amla candy is ready. Store the candy in an air-tight container and enjoy 6-7 pieces
everyday. This candy is not only good in taste but for health too.
