My Notes:

  • We can store it in room temperature,even for one month also.
  • I used the dry ginger powder (sukku powder) to make this candy.If you didn’t get the dry ginger powder, you can use the fresh ginger.Grind the fresh ginger in mixie without adding water and then add the grinded paste into the sugar syrup.Boil it till it foams at the top.
  • If you are using fresh ginger ,choose young ginger to make this candy.
  • It is good for health but don’t take more than 2 pieces as ginger is produces more heat.

Have a Nice Day!!!

  1. I was smiling when I read the tittle. My amma used to always like to make it at home for digestive problems. I used to think its candy for the longest time. Thanks for the recipe. Will keep it book marked.

  2. My way of preparing inji murabba is different. Take 7 – 8 inches piece of ginger, wash and peel the skin, dice them to big pieces. Grind the diced ginger pieces with 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk to a smooth paste. Measure ginger paste and take sugar 2 times (more sugar wld make them taste like burfi) the quantiy of ginger paste. Take both together in a kadai – no syrup consistency required in this method, keep stirring in high flame till sugar dissolves and then stir in medium flame till bubbles start forming all over and leaves the pan. Transfer it to a ghee greased plate and very quickly (it hardens and cools down quickly) smoothen the top using a ghee greased dabara or spatula, cut them into pieces, let cool and then store. Aromatic and yummy murabbas are ready!!
