Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed for preparing Inji Marappa,
- Ginger - 1 cup (Wash well and peel the skin)
- It can either be 1 cup of chopped pieces which should be ground into a fine paste or 1 cup of grated ginger.
Alternatively, you can also use ginger powder.
- Sugar - 2 cups
- Cardamom powder - a pinch (optional)
- Salt - a pinch
- Water - 1/2 - 1 cup
- Ghee / oil - 1 tablespoon
Preparation Steps
- Take a wide heavy bottomed pan, add two cups of sugar and pour in enough water until sugar has immersed in it.
- Keep stirring until it melts and becomes syrup.
- Test whether it has one string consistency using your thumb and index finger.
- At this stage, add ginger paste / grated ginger and mix well.
- Once it has mixed, add salt and cardamom powder.
- Keep stirring until it attains a thicker consistency.
- You can check this with the help of water in a small plate. Add less than half a teaspoon of the syrup in water and try rolling it, if the contents stick together then the consistency is perfect.
- You can see the bubbles boiling and rising up.
- Now turn off the flame. Take a flat surfaced container or plate and grease it with ghee or oil.
- Pour the contents onto the plate and gently tap so that it fits evenly and flat.
- In five minutes start cutting the pieces into preferable shape and size. It would be hard to cut once it has set well.
- Keep this aside for 20 - 30 minutes. The pieces are now set and the shapes will be perfect too.
- You can remove the pieces one by one and store them in an airtight container. This can be stored for a month.
- Quantity of sugar can be increased or decreased as per preference.
- As a healthy alternative, you can try this with jaggery too instead of sugar. In that case take 3 - 4 cups of crushed jaggery in a pan with half a cup of water, melt it into a syrup and filter it before boiling the same for preparing Inji Marappa.
