Amla Sabji, Indian Gooseberry Accompaniment
by Tarla Dalal
Come winter, the market is flooded with amla. Most people make it into pickles, while others explore newer ways of consuming it like juices or chutneys.
Have you ever thought of making a subzi with this vitamin C rich fruit? Amla is a very beneficial berry, with anti-inflammatory properties.
By cooking it into a subzi, you get an opportunity to consuming a larger portion than as a pickle. This unique Amla Subzi is flavoured with an interesting mix of seeds like coriander and fennel.
With a dash of jaggery and spice powders, it has a blend of sweet, sour and spicy flavours. Enjoy it hot and and fresh with roti and parathas, or hot rice and dal.
