Method

  • Coarsely grind the amlas along with salt and green chillies. Don't add water.
  • Heat a pan adding 4 tea spoons of oil, mustard seeds and curry leaves. Once the mustard seeds splutter add the ground amla paste. Saute it till the moisture from the amla chutney evaporates completely.
  • Cool it and store it in a airtight container. Amla chutney is ready to serve with hot rice topped with ghee. Indeed a healthy chutney!!!!!!!

Note:

  • This chutney can be stored for a week without refrigeration.
  • Amla chutney cannot be a good combo with dosa or Idly.
