Ingredients

• 10 nos Amla or Indian Gooseberry
• ¼ cup Sesame oil
• ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
• ½ tsp Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder
• 1 ½ tsp Red Chilli Powder (use a spicy variety)
• ½ tsp Turmeric Powder or Haldi Powder (Manjal Podi)
• ¼ tsp Hing or Asafoetida
• ¼ tsp Roasted Methi Seeds Powder
• Salt to taste

 

Method:

• Wash and cut the amla into 4 pieces. Remove the seed and steam the amla for atleast 10 minutes.
• Heat a pan and add oil. Once the oil heats, add mustard seeds and allow it to crackle, add hing or asafoetida.
• Add the amla pieces and saute for a couple of minutes. Then add turmeric powder and red chilli powder along with salt to taste. Mix well.
• Since Amla is pre-cooked, it would take 7 to 10 minutes for the pickle to be ready.
• Switch off flame, add the roasted methi powder, mix well. Once cool, transfer to a clean, dry glass jar
• Refrigerate for a week and enjoy with rice or bread or just like that.
