Amla is well-known for its nutritional properties and numerous health benefits, especially for hair and skin. While it is highly beneficial to take amla juice it doesn't always go well with our fussy eaters! How to incorporate the goodness of amla into your diet then?

A simple way is to add amla to your regular green coriander mint chutney in place of lemon. Here's another option to pamper your taste buds by transforming amla into a lip-smacking khatta-meetha chutney!

Ingredients

• Amla (Indian gooseberry): 100 gms
• Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
• Mustard seeds:1 tsp
• Curry leaves: 1 sprig
• Red chilli powder: 2 tsp (or as per taste)
• Asafoetida (hing): a pinch
• Jaggery powder:1/4 cup
• Rock Salt: to taste
• Cold-pressed oil: very little (optional)

Method

1. Wash the amlas thoroughly. Steam and de-seed them.

2. Add the cooked amla and a little water in a mixer and grind into a smooth paste.

3. Take a heavy bottom pan and heat it. Now, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds and hing. Allow to crackle and roast these lightly. (You may choose to use very little cold-pressed oil to roast the seeds and hing if you wish to)

4. Add red chilli powder and the ground amla paste and mix well.

5. Finally, add the jaggery powder and salt and cook for a few minutes until the mixture comes together.

6. Serve the khatta-meetha Amla Chutney along with rotis, dosas or chillas.
