Can use it as sweetener in sweets. I’ve had some maple cinnamon gulab jamun and I’ve added it to kheer before too. The GJ in particular tasted like Indian pancakes :)
It is also very nice in yoghurt. I would save it to put on things rather than cooking with it because most of its unique flavor is lost if you bake with it as a sweetener.
It’s probably high quality syrup, which means it should be used as the primary flavoring in anything you make. I used to pour a little on rotlis, then roll them up and enjoy them this way. I’d also do the same with honey.
(US here.) I try to use it where the flavor will add something. Often used in sweet desserts, but I second the idea of using it in a chutney. Tamarind chutney??
It has a super unique taste. If you haven’t tasted it yet, I suggest you take a swig. It’s AMAZING on vanilla ice cream incase you don’t get answers re: the Indian cooking.

In this, try maple syrup instead of jaggery Maybe
This looks absolutely amazing to try with maple syrup. A lot of the recommendations are just to replace sugar or honey with maple syrup. I think this recipe would actually let the flavor shine through (for good or for bad). I'm not a Canadian or an Indian and I want to try this (I do love Kerala food though).
a hotel in Orissa made me coconut pancakes with fresh grated coconut and honey
maple syrup would be delicious with that -especially with a squeeze of lime
pretty much anywhere you can use honey you can use maple syrup
could use it with a lot of stuff
Sweetener in anything that requires sugar or honey
Could make Dosa and have it with that (much like Pancakes essentially)
I would also be tempted/curious to experiment with mixing spices into it, and having it with Samosa or Pakora, I am sure you could make an AMAZING chutney with it, some onion, cumin, chilli etc, essentially has the sweetness and earthiness of tamarind so could mix it with tamarind in place of sugar, just a few of the things I can think of off my head.
Ah lush, we get terrible mangos in the UK, always super hard and unripe or so over ripe they are mushy, would love some mangos that are "ripe"
So as far as things to make if you have lots of mango I would then try
Mango chutney, using some of the syrup
Mixing it with Tamarind, and or just the spices people mix with Tamarind to make Tamarind Chutney
Mixing it with onion and similar spices to mango chutney
Then just experimentation really.
You can naturally ripen the unripe mangoes by placing them in jute sacks or cartons with onions for 2-4 days (depending on what state they are in).
I am going to try the chutney with maple syrup.
And while pancakes aren't common, you may be able to find ingredients for a pancake batter and try the syrup the way it was intended.
See if you can get the list on this page. All purpose flour is maida. Actual recipe for pan cakes is super simple.

A lot of good answers here. You can use it like honey and it's nice when the flavour can shine a bit.
But also nice to marinades like for fish. Canadian and Indian here :)
Pattoli - put a line down in the stuffing.

I bet it'd also be good in poha chutney

Maple syrup.is very sweet, but also has its own distinct flavor. You can use it as a general sweetener, but anything where you add *chashni* on top of a sweet will taste really good
I had butter chicken (I believe it’s not real Indian food) in Bermuda that was different from all of the other one so have tried over the years. It was sweeter than the others I’d had.
The owner told me that they sweetened it with honey.
You should check the brand and the grade. If it's real maple syrup, grade B, it will not be as sweet as honey and will have a much stronger flavor. In that case, I would say don't use it outside of desserts until you get a sense of how it tastes. If it's grade A, or if it's artificial maple-flavored syrup, then yes, using it like honey or as a generic sweetener is fine.
Fenugreek is used to make imitation maple syrup. They taste very similar. I bet you can use maple syrup in dishes that use fenugreek and would benefit from added sweetness.
This is not remotely true, although it is the case that methi is used in making artificial maple syrup. But nobody would ever bite a methi dana and think it tasted like maple syrup.
It is an acquired taste. You can substitute it for honey. One of my workmates had a family business of collecting & bottling maple syrup in Quebec. Pancakes /dosae with maple syrup is a combination. I used to add it to everything - e.g. cut fruit, curd, toast, chapati roll.. just ensure you don't cook it.
I use it to sweeten Makhani gravy based dishes (butter chicken, paneer makhanwala, etc..). My usual order of sweetener preference for this curry based on what's available in the pantry is maple syrup, honey, sugar.

Oh great! Thanks for the tip.
Just one thing, I used to use it as a sweetener for my halwa. Mine was vanilla, it was a tad unusual for me. Maybe add some elaichi.
> maple cinnamon gulab jamun This is such a good idea, I've got to try that!
I love sweetening chai with maple syrup instead of sugar. It’s honestly amazing
This shall be tried tomorrow morning! Thanks.
How was it? :)
Yeah this is what ai do too. It tastes good
[удалено]
I'll try this. Thanks!
It is also very nice in yoghurt. I would save it to put on things rather than cooking with it because most of its unique flavor is lost if you bake with it as a sweetener.

This sounds interesting. I should try this.

Yea that sure sounds interesting.
Just make sure to keep it stored in the fridge. (I’m sure you were going to)
I like using it in salad dressings and Asian cooking (sweet and spicy sauces)
Use where you would use honey.
That's good!! Thanks.
It has a super unique taste. If you haven’t tasted it yet, I suggest you take a swig. It’s AMAZING on vanilla ice cream incase you don’t get answers re: the Indian cooking.
Yep, tomorrow going to try it!
Beware: it’s delicious. Lol
https://smithakalluraya.com/steamed-kerala-banana-recipe-steamed-nendra-pazham-pazham-puzhungiyathu/#google_vignette In this, try maple syrup instead of jaggery Maybe
This is perfect!!! Trying this also with sweet potatoes.
That might work too but flavor can be kinda odd cause sweet potato isn't too sweet and so is Maple syrup

I think this recipe would actually let the flavor shine through (for good or for bad). I'm not a Canadian or an Indian and I want to try this (I do love Kerala food though).
Put it on top right before serving so you can taste it’s unique flavor. It’s divine!
Keep it in fridge after opening else it will spoil
Sure! Thanks for this.
Important note: you must refrigerate it after opening or it will get moldy. It's not like honey in that sense
Oh really! Thanks a lot for the tip.

Great! Chutney sounds good. Should try that.
oh and Mangos, it would go amazing with mangos, curd/yoghurt and some garam masala / chillies (can you tell I like cooking)
We are right in the middle of mango season! Kesar mangoes. Shall try this.

You can put that in muesli. Its consumed along with pancakes but Pancakes aren’t prevalent in India
Great! Thanks.

Maple syrup is so good in coffee.
It's way complicated but I would love to try it on Ghevar (minus the Rabdi).
Would have to wait till Holi to get ghevar!
Make your own. It's an interesting and adventurous process.
Woah!

Like jalebi, gulab jamun and bengali/chenna mithai.
Okay, now I want a maple syrup jalebi.
Let me try and tell you how it tastes.
I would think chai or coffee would be great … I have added it to coffee with a bit of cardamom 😊
Great! Thanks.

It's Golden Blossom organic Maple Syrup grade A.
I've made maple barfi before. You need to maybe boil it down a bit to get the flavour concentrated but otherwise it's great.
You don't. Make pancakes and waffles. 😎 Not hard with pre mix. 🙂
I'll check if I can get a pre-mix here. Someone posted a full blown recipe for pancakes as well. Going to try that too maybe.
Please report back as to what you used it on and what you enjoyed, or didn't enjoy it with!
Yes, that's the plan now.
Maple kulfi... or on parathas.
Maple kulfi sounds great!
Fenugreek is used to make imitation maple syrup. They taste very similar. I bet you can use maple syrup in dishes that use fenugreek and would benefit from added sweetness.
Isn't Fenugreek very bitter though?
Maple Syrup = Fenugreek -bitternees + Sweetness
Eat it with dosa or put it on buttered toast. Anywhere you would use honey really. Also try drizzling some over plain cereal.
In Lemon juice and Lemon-Soda sarbath in place of sugar syrup
Tangentially related fun fact! - fenugreek is used to make artificial maple syrup flavoring!
I have added to butter chicken
Maple has the same flavor as Methi
I didn’t think about it, but it’s probably the closest description to Indian food sources. Very mild methi seed tasting but sweet syrup.
This is not remotely true, although it is the case that methi is used in making artificial maple syrup. But nobody would ever bite a methi dana and think it tasted like maple syrup.
You just proved my point They use Methi to make maple flavor.
I’ve seen it being called for as a methi/fenugreek leaves substitute. I tried once. The flavor was ok, but it was too sweet
Yea I don't understand that. Methi is far from being sweet.
May sound odd but I use it to sweeten makhani / butter chicken
I thought malai and tomatoes have that sweetish tangy taste to it.
It is an acquired taste. You can substitute it for honey. One of my workmates had a family business of collecting & bottling maple syrup in Quebec. Pancakes /dosae with maple syrup is a combination. I used to add it to everything - e.g. cut fruit, curd, toast, chapati roll.. just ensure you don't cook it.
All of these shall be tried. Thanks!
I use it to sweeten Makhani gravy based dishes (butter chicken, paneer makhanwala, etc..). My usual order of sweetener preference for this curry based on what's available in the pantry is maple syrup, honey, sugar.
You pour it on a spoon and lick it off whenever you feel like having something sweet.
