Ingredients
Produce
- 500 gm Indian Gooseberries amla
- 6-8 Chilies green
- 2-3 sprigs Curry Leaves
Spices and Flavorings
- 6-8 Chilies dried, red
- 1 Tbsp Chickpeas chana, roasted
- 1 Tbsp Coconut chopped
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- Salt to taste
Oil
- 2 Tbsp Mustard Oil
Instructions
- Wash the Indian gooseberries thoroughly. Cut them into pieces and remove the seeds. This step helps to reduce bitterness.
- Heat the mustard oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. This infuses the oil with a nutty flavor. Then, add the dried red chilies and stir for a few seconds.
- Add the roasted chickpeas, chopped coconut, green chilies, roasted cumin seeds, and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped Indian gooseberries and salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Grind to a coarse paste. For a smoother chutney, blend for a longer time.
- For a longer shelf life, return the chutney to the pan. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the moisture evaporates and the chutney thickens. This step helps to preserve the chutney. If you prefer a fresher chutney, you can skip this step.
- Optional: For a sweeter chutney, add rock sugar or jaggery to taste during the cooking process. This balances the tanginess of the amla.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, try roasting the amla before using it in your recipe. This will enhance its natural sweetness and add a smoky depth.
- Amla can be quite tart, so adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener in your recipe according to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more as needed.
- To prevent the amla from oxidizing and turning brown, you can sprinkle it with a little lemon juice after cutting it.
Storage Instructions
- Store any leftover amla dishes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
