Amla Chutney

Amla Chutney brings together the freshness of coriander and tanginess of Amla or Indian gooseberries. While coriander is a common chutney ingredient made for dosa and idlis, adding amla not only gives this a different taste, but loads of vitamin C as well. Here is how to make it.

Chutney, it is one of the most favourite condiments in Indian households. Spicy, tangy and sweet, there are a lot of variations of chutneys that is made all over India. Raw Mango Chutney, Guava Chutney, Tomato Chutney etc are some of my fav.

Each and every chutney also varies in taste and texture, depending on which region it belongs too. Use of local masalas and style of cooking also plays an essential role, when it comes to its flavor and taste.

In older times, chutneys were made by grinding on a stone, where all the ingredients were put over a big stone and then using another stone it was grounded till they used to get a coarse paste.

The taste of these chutneys were different all together, but with time, there are so many appliances that helps make a chutney in just a few minutes. Therefore, there is always one chutney sitting in my fridge to serve along with everyday meals.

Tangy and spicy, this chutney is a perfect condiment to make during winters, when Amla/Gooseberry is in season.

Therefore adding amla into your everyday diet will help you in a lot of ways.
