Winter Special Immunity Booster Amla Homemade Candy

To make Winter Special Immunity Booster Amla Homemade Candy, start by washing and chopping 500 g of amla. In a pan, combine the chopped amla with 500 g of jaggery or sugar, 1 tsp of ginger, 0.5 tsp of black salt, 0.25 tsp of black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat until the jaggery dissolves. Add 1 tbsp of ghee and mix well. Create a smooth paste with 2 tsp of cornflour and 2 tsp of water, then add it to the mixture, stirring until thickened. Pour onto a greased plate, let it cool, cut into pieces, and dust with powdered sugar.

Yes, you can substitute jaggery with sugar or other natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. However, keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly. If using honey, add it towards the end of the cooking process to preserve its nutrients.

To make the Winter Special Immunity Booster Amla Homemade Candy vegan, simply replace ghee with a plant-based oil or vegan butter. The rest of the ingredients are already plant-based, making it a great option for those following a vegan diet.

Store your homemade amla candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for about 15-20 days. Make sure to keep it away from moisture to maintain its texture and flavor.

This amla candy pairs wonderfully with herbal teas, especially ginger or chamomile tea, which can enhance its immunity-boosting properties. You can also enjoy it as a healthy snack alongside nuts or dried fruits for a nutritious treat.
