amla recipe | amla pickle | nellikai thokku | நெல்லிக்காய் தொக்கு is a pickle, healthy side dish that contains lots of vitamin C. We can adjust the spice level according to the tanginess of the gooseberry. There are so many products in gooseberry in the market like gooseberry powder, dried gooseberry, etc. Making pickle one of the traditional methods of preserving something to use for a long period.

what type of gooseberry I have used in this recipe?

I have used frozen gooseberry because that is the only option here for me.

If you are going to use fresh gooseberry,

  • increase the quantity of chilly powder (because the tanginess will be more in fresh gooseberry),
  • steam cooks it for 15 minutes,

these are the variations you must do.
