Instructions:
Wash and peel the potatoes. If using large potatoes, cut them into thick chunks or cubes.
Boil the potatoes until they become slightly tender (do not overcook). Drain the water and allow them to cool down.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the sugar has completely dissolved and a syrup has formed.
Add the boiled potato pieces to the syrup. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes—stirring gently occasionally—until the potatoes become translucent and begin to absorb the syrup.
Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
Add the lemon juice, cardamom powder, saffron, and cloves. Mix well.
Allow it to simmer over low heat until the syrup reaches a one-string consistency and the potatoes appear glossy and thoroughly coated in the syrup.
Remove from heat and let it cool down completely.
Store the preserve in clean, sterilized jars. Refrigerate to keep it fresh for an extended period.
Serving Suggestion:
Enjoy the Potato Murabba as a sweet side dish alongside roti or paratha, or as a unique dessert.
