Ambakalya is a Parsi sweet dish that is prepared mostly during Navroze, the Parsi new year.

Ingredients:

1 kg mangoes

Cinnamon stick

Method:

Peel the mangoes and cut into pieces. Cut the jaggery into small pieces. Cook mango slices till they turn soft. Mix jaggery and water. Boil it till jaggery melts. Add mango slices and cinnamon stick. Cook it when covered on a medium flame for ten minutes. Now cook it uncovered till it turns to a thick syrup. Keep it for cooling. Ambakalya is ready.
