Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the amla

Wash and chop the amlas into pieces, removing the seeds. Boil them with 1½ cups of water until tender. Once softened, let them cool slightly and blend to a smooth puree that forms the flavour base of the jelly.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Cook the puree

Transfer the amla puree into a thick-bottomed pan. Add sugar and stir continuously until the mixture thickens, turning glossy. The sugar not only balances tanginess but also helps in the final setting of the jelly.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Enhance the flavour

Add lemon juice and cardamom powder to lift both taste and aroma. Lemon stabilises the colour and amplifies the tang, while cardamom provides the festive sweets' warm undertones, essential for the puja vibe.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Add China Grass

Stir in dissolved china grass water slowly while cooking. Keep mixing until the mixture begins leaving the sides of the pan and achieves a slightly thick, pourable consistency. China Grass allows a vegetarian-friendly setting without gelatin.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Set and shape

Grease a tray or mould with ghee, then pour the hot mixture into it. Spread evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula. Set aside for 1–2 hours at room temperature until firm and bouncy to the touch.

Description - Step 6

Step 6: Slice and serve

Once set completely, cut into small cubes or diamonds. Remove gently and serve as prasad during Lakshmi Puja, or enjoy as a healthy sweet snack. Excess can be stored refrigerated in airtight containers for up to a week
