Amla sabzi

Amla sabzi

I learnt this recipe of Amla sabzi from my mom who cooks it often when amla is in season. We have it like a pickle along with our meal of roti sabzi. Amla sabji stays fresh for 2-3 days when refrigerated. This recipe is easy to make and tastes great. Amla or Indian Gooseberry is an excellent source of Vitamin C and also helps in digestion. Amla also gives glow to your hair and body. So, eat amla and keep glowing!
