Don't know what they would be called in the west. I see 'preserves' often, but they seem to be closer relatives of jams than murabbas. Unlike jams, murabbas have a savory taste (much smaller than the overall sweet taste) element to them.
- RugnirViking 3y agoHmmm. Marmalade perhaps? Chutney, or Confit
- selimthegrim 3y agoProbably somewhere between chutney and preserves. Its slang usage, definitely accentuate the kitchen-sink /lots of things thrown together element to it, (“choon choon ke murabbe” is an affectionate term of abuse you shout at misbehaving children, at least in North of subcontinent, roughly “naughty little rascal/scamp”)
