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.
