Today’s recipe is NELLIKKAI (GOOSEBERRY / AMLA) CHUTNEY. Gooseberry is the No.1 source for Vitamin C and as we all know it has many health benefits. Our regular diet in GREEN GOLD (GOOSEBERRY). So I converted this to a recipe, GOOSEBERRY CHUTNEY. It is a simple process. I used raw gooseberry for making chutney, some may use it for shallow fry. If we heat this energy rich fruit, 90% of the natural benefits will be lost. The taste of this chutney is a little sour and sweet with raw gooseberry. This recipe is so important in the current situation of locking down to viral diseases. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please avoid intake of gooseberry in the night, as the strong acidic nature and indigestion problem will occur. As we know indigestion is the mother of all disease, please avoid gooseberry in night times.
