Amla Pickle – Gujarati Style

Amla (Indian gooseberry) is a nutritional powerhouse, known for its rich Vitamin C and antioxidant content. This traditional Gujarati-style pickle brings out its sharp tang in a flavorful, spiced oil blend — perfect with parathas, rotis, or khichdi.

• ¼ tsp asafetida (hing)
• 2–2½ tbsp salt (adjust to taste)
