Easy Amala Pickle | Athela Amla | Indian Gooseberry in Brine Recipe

 

Easy amla pickle recipe requires minimal ingredients, which are Amla (aka Indian Gooseberry), Salt, Turmeric Powder, and Water. Wash, wipe, dry, and Poke Amla fruit. Take a Glass jar and mix Salt, Turmeric, and Amla in water. Let the salt absorb the sourness and make it soft and delicious to eat. 

My mother in law also makes Amla chutney and / Amla Juice. I’ll share that recipe soon. I like to eat dried Amla Candy too. You can also make Murrabas, Jams, Chavanprash, Marmalade, and several Ayurvedic medicines.

It is difficult for some people to eat fresh raw Amla because it has a very sour and bitter taste. I have one video of my daughter eating a gooseberry for the first time. She makes funny faces. HAHA…

My mother always takes a couple of athela amla, slices them, and keeps them on the table. Everyone in my home, whenever passes from nearby, pop one slice. I also take one in school and the office and finish it before I come back. It is a good option instead of chewing gums.

Notes :

  • If you are not getting time to make pickles on the same day of purchase, preserve Amla in fresh water in the open pan.
