AMLA CHUTNEY AND AMLA PICKLE


Amla is the most potent natural source of Vitamin C. In fact, this tiny fruit has as much Vitamin C as two oranges. Vitamin C, when taken in the form of supplements, is not always easily absorbed. But when you eat an amla berry, the Vitamin C present is easily assimilated by body. Amla helps strengthen the liver, and rid the body of these toxins. It thus helps purify and clean the blood. This is why.It also prevents premature graying of hairs and dandruff. Indian women generally use Amla to wash their hairs, which act as natural hair conditioner.
Today i am not getting good amla bec it is out of season.i am giving two simple recipes which can be used in our daily meal and get the benifit of amla.
                                        
AMLA CHUTNEY

Amla-5

coriander leaves[optional]
salt to taste

Wash all the ingredients, grind in the mixer coarsely and make a smooth paste. Add salt to taste.
I do not use coriander leaves but can be added while grinding.

AMLA PICKLE

Ingredients:

green chilly-5
fennle and methi dana powder-2 tsp
turmuric powder-1/2 tsp

Method

Boil amla in pressure cooker till 2 whistles. Peel it after cooling it.
Smoke heat mustard oil in a pan. Remove pan from the burner once it starts leaving smoke. Let it cool.
Now again keep the pan on fire, add green chilly and after 1 minute add masalas, boiled amla and salt. Cover it for 5 minutes so that all spices mix well with amla.
It is now ready to eat.
This pickle can be perserved for a week. Store it in refrigerator.

  20. I'm laughing because I've only ever used amla as a rinse in my hair or as a face scrub. I've never eaten it. So it's fun for me to see these recipes. Thanks for linking up with Hearth and Soul.

  22. Hello Santosh and welcome to the hearth and soul hop! I am so glad you linked up because now I can follow your blog. I have heard of amla as a dear friend introduced me to the coconut hair oil that contains henna and amla and I use it weekly with great results! My hair is silky and shiny! These two recipes look terrific. I adore pickles and chutney. Thanks again! Alex@amoderatelife

    i tried amla pickle today and it turned out really yummy. As I was out running out of mustard oil, I added 1 tsp of mustard seeds.
    Thanks a lot.
