Ingredients
Amla (Gooseberry) – This is the star ingredient of this recipe. Choose the amla that are free of black patches.
Cilantro (Fresh Coriander Leaves) makes the base of the chutney.
Green Chilies – I use Indian green chilies, but you can use any available variety. Adjust the amount according to your taste.
Others – You will also need asafetida (hing), cumin seeds, fresh ginger, garlic, sugar, salt, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
Skip using asafetida in the recipe to make a gluten-free version.
You can add some fresh mint to this chutney.
