Recipe Notes

Dry amla in sun or leave overnight to dry after deseeding before adding spices.

Additional Tips

  • For a deeper flavor and longer shelf life, sun-dry the steamed amla pieces for a few hours before mixing them with spices and oil; this reduces moisture content and helps the pickle stay fresh longer.
  • If you prefer a milder pickle, lightly roast the chili powder and fennel seed powder before adding them—this mellows their sharpness and enhances their aroma.
  • For a South Indian variation, add a teaspoon of roasted fenugreek (methi) powder and a few curry leaves to the spice mix for a distinct flavor profile.
  • Store the pickle in a sterilized glass jar and pour an extra layer of heated, cooled mustard oil on top to prevent mold and extend its shelf life, especially in humid climates.
