To make Mukhwas at home, I’ve taken around 1.5 kg of Amla and around 800 gm of medium-sized Beetroot. Wash the Amla and Beetroot properly and dry them completely using a kitchen towel.
Take a grater and coarsely grate the Amlas. Ensure that you remove the Amla seeds.
Now, take 2 inches of Ginger and grate it finely.
Next, cut the sides of the beetroot and peel them using a hand peeler.
Now, we will coarsely grate the peeled beetroot. Keep them aside.
Next, we will prepare a spice blend. Take 1 tbsp Fennel seeds, 1 tsp Jeera, 1 tsp Ajwain, and 1 tsp Black Pepper. Dry roast the spices on a low flame.
After roasting them, add them to a grinding jar, add salt to taste, 1 tsp black salt, and 1 tbsp chaat masala. Grind them into powder form.
Add the powdered spices, grated Amla, and beetroot to a large bowl. Also, add powdered jaggery for sweetness.
Mix everything well, then spread them on large plates. We will dry them under a fan for 2-3 days. Avoid drying them in sunlight, as it may change the color and taste.
In 2-3 days, the mixture will be completely, and then you can take everything in 1 large plate.
To further enhance the taste and aroma, we will add dried betel leaves. To dry them, we will wash them thoroughly, spread them on a towel, and dry them under a fan for a day. Just crush them in your hands and mix them.
Also, take dry rose petals. Crush them and add to the mixture.
Mix everything well. The Mukhwas is ready. You can store them in an airtight container and use up to a year.
Enjoy!
