Amla/ Gooseberry Raita

  

Ingredients

2 cups Curd  whisked

4 Amla (Nellikai/ Gooseberry) grated

1/4 cup Fresh coconut, grated

1 Cucumber, peeled and grated

2 Green Chilies, chopped finely

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds

Salt to taste

1 tsp Oil

 

Preparations

Grind the raw gooseberries, grated coconut, green chili and salt into a coarse mixture. Keep aside.

In a bowl whisk the yogurt well until smooth. Stir in the ground gooseberry mixture and grated cucumber. Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste.

Transfer the Nellikai (Amla) Raita into a serving bowl.

The next step is to make the seasoning for the Nellikai Pachadi. Heat oil in a small pan; add the mustard seeds and curry leaves. Allow them to crackle.

Pour the seasoning over the Nellikai Pachadi (Amla Raita) and stir it in and serve with your choice of Pulao recipe to a wonderful meal.

Health Tip As amla is a rich source of Vitamin C, which just 1 amla gives us enough vitamin C for the day. To absorb iron from leafy green veges. we need Vitamin C. I always make it a point to either have amla raita or amla pickle whenever I make palak dal or methi kootu.
