Hi Everyone!!
So festival season is here - Vishu is in this week !! Vishu marks the new year for us malayalees. There are other states also, which celebrate New year around the same time, so anyways, wish you all a happy new year in advance !! When I think of Vishu, vivid images of new clothes, house cleaning, catching up with friends and relatives and the highlight- SADHYA, all spring into my mind.
So today, I have come up with a pickle recipe which is lip smacking tasty, yet healthy. It is Nellikka alias Amla alias Gooseberry pickle. Whenever there is some health related issue that I google, most of the times, if not always, it says that gooseberry will help cure the condition!!. How is that possible?? Anyways good for us, since it is an easily available cure. Somehow I cannot eat raw Gooseberry. I find it too bitter, but there are many people i
I know, who can easily have it raw. For me, it has to be either pickled or juiced with other ingredients.
Since Vishu is around the corner, I have started the preparation already. Things that do not have to be made at the last moment, I have already started making them. For instance, puli inji is done and dusted! That is a recipe for another time though. Now, onto the easiest pickle recipe !!
Nellikka/Amla/Gooseberry 200 gm/10 medium size.
Chilly Powder 2.5 teaspoon
Curry leaves 3 to 4 leaves
Mustard and sesame seed roasted and grounded 1 teaspoon.
Asafetida 1/4 teaspoon.
Oil 2 to 3 teaspoon.
Salt to taste.
Cut the Gooseberry into small pieces. Add salt and chilly powder to it and keep it aside in a separate container. In a pan, add mustard and sesame seed. Then roast it for a minute and ground it. Add this mixture and asafoetida to the Gooseberry which was kept aside in the container. Now in the same pan, add oil and once it is hot, add curry leaves. Then add the mixture which was kept aside into the pan. Mix well. Turn off the heat once everything is mixed (One Minute). Once it is cooled store it in a container and keep it in the fridge. You can keep it out for few hours or maximum overnight. Since we are not using much oil, avoid keeping it out for long. Do try this. You will love it !!
Take care and wish you a Happy Vishu in advance :)
