How to make Amla Pickle (Gooseberry Pickle)

  1. Step 1

    Wash the gooseberries and add salt to them. Boil them in water for 10 minutes and then remove them onto a plate to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Wash the green chilies, remove the stems, and cut them. Dry the gooseberries and green chilies under the sun for an hour.

  3. Step 3

    In a pan, roast coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and fenugreek seeds. Turn off the heat and add yellow mustard seeds, lightly heating them. Grind the roasted spices coarsely.

  4. Step 4

    Heat mustard oil properly. Once it cools down slightly, add asafoetida, nigella seeds, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, salt, and the prepared spice mix. Mix well.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the spiced oil over the gooseberries and green chilies. Add dry mango powder and mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

  6. Step 6

    Cover the mixture and let it rest for 24 hours to allow the spices to infuse. Your amla pickle is ready to enjoy!
