Amla Ka Achar || Gooseberry pickle || Quick pickle
Today I am Sharing a very Tasty, Tangy and Healthy Gooseberry Pickle or amla ka achar, a very simple quick pickle.
My garden is full of Indian gooseberries these days. I have learned that Indian gooseberry has tremendous health benefits.
The – amla – has been used in traditional Indian medicine, called Ayurveda, for millennia. However, Clinical studies suggest that it helps to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Another study showed that amla also helps block the growth of breast cancer cells and metastasis potential in vitro. In fact, They have anti-cancer properties along with cough-, fever-, pain-, stress-, and diarrhoea-suppressing effects. Gooseberries contain a healthy dose of scurvy-preventing vitamin C-69 per cent of the daily value and nearly 20 times the C in oranges.
Gooseberries are very sour to taste when consumed raw. That’s why to gain these health benefits of gooseberries, I decided to make pickle and chutney out of it. And get this: gooseberries lose none of the vitamin C nutrition in the cooking process. So let’s cook this gooseberry pickle! A healthy treat for your family!!
Finally, I would like to suggest few more recipes from my blog:
