amla/ nellikai 1
corn flour 2 tsp
milk 1/2 cup
water 1/4 cup
brown sugar 10 tsp/ 5 tbsp( gur/ molasses/ sugar substitute can be used too).
ghee 1 tsp
METHOD
wash, wipe amla well,grate it carefully, discard the seed, in case you find it difficult to grate, chope into pieces, run through mixie and can be used too.
heat ghee in a heavy kadai or non-stick pan, add amla, fry on low flame for 3-4 minutes, till water evaporates
in the mean time, mix cornflour with water or milk to a smooth paste
add cornflour mixture, water/ milk, add brown sugar, mix well
keep stirring on medium flame till it becomes thick
remove, it can be used as a spread with roti, bread, or as a dip with fruits, dosai, adai or simply eat it plain, if you've a sweet tooth like me !
Since amla is in season, I found some nice big ones, bought it to make pickle, then tried making the dessert with 1 amla, as hubby loves pickle, I like to have the pickle on those days when we get spinach to eat to absorb the iron from spinach !
I shared this with my friends today, they all liked it and it got over in 2 minutes !
Health benefits
amla is the riches source of Vitamin C, one amla gives us enough vitamin C for the day.
luckily, it is one of those Vitamins which isn't affected by heat, so by cooking too, the vitamin content doesn't get lost.
milk a good source of protein and calcium, brown sugar is healthier than white one Or you may use vellam/ gur syrup, then you get iron, or can use sugar substitute.
One also gets some fibre from amla.
