RECIPE: How we make the Amla ka Achar
Our Amla Pickle recipe is inspired from the traditional Indian recipe handed over to us over generations.
- To start the pickling process, Amlas are first washed and then steamed for a few minutes - so that they turn soft.
- Then Amlas are cut into pieces, the seeds are removed, and dried in the sun so that the moisture is removed.
- Once the amla has dried a little, salt and turmeric are added - and the mixture is further left in the sun for a day or two to completely dry.
- The spice mix is prepared with yellow mustard and cumin seeds forming the base. Amchoor is added as the main ingredient to bring sourness to the pickle.
- After the spices are mixed, the mixture is left out in the sun for 3-5 days before being stored in glass jars / Martabaans.
