ABOUT Amla Pickle / Indian Gooseberry Pickle Recipe RECIPE

Indians love pickles and a typical Indian meal is incomplete without a pickle served by the side. I am sharing my mums recipe of a very easy yet delicious Amla Pickle. This pickle gets a spicy kick from the red chili powder, a slight sweet taste due to added Jaggery , a tinge of bitterness from the fenugreek seeds and the amla imparts sourness to the pickle .
