Amla is rich in vitamin c, improves appetite, digestion, good for diabetics, has a lot of anti oxidants to improve your immunity, and good for hair and eyes. Many people eat amla in the form of amla juice ,amla powder, in triphala churna, amla murabba etc . It has lots of health benefits. It is very sour and many of us find it difficult to eat raw Amla.

I try to make Amla Chutney or Gooseberry Chutney in variety of ways. I make Amla Chutney with peanut, coconut or curd as a base. Many times I add raw turmeric. Pudina and coriander also gives nice taste to Amla Chutney. This time I have used curd, pudina and corriander to make this khathi mithi Amla Chutney (sweet and sour Amla Chutney). You can eat this Chutney with dosa, any paratha or as a spread on whole wheat sandwiches. In winters many times I make this Chutney for morning breakfast as side dish with aloo paratha or any vegetable paratha.

Well in this Amla Chutney, I have added coriander (dhania / kothimbir), mint (pudina), curd as a base with some spices. Coriander and mint gives this Chutney a nice refreshing flavor and makes it rich in anti oxidants. I have added sugar to this recipe but it is optional. You can make it without sugar or add sugar-free or jaggery. Jaggery may change the color of the Chutney.

  1. I liked this chutney recipe and will try it for sure. Very nice n innovative way of introducing amla to our diet which has lots of health benefits. Thank you for sharing.

I have added some nice bell pepper, carrot, beans, fresh cherry tomatoes. You can add any types of vegetables like shredded cabbage, spinach, green onion, bottle gourd, sometimes I even add grated fresh turmeric (kachi haldi) and even gooseberries (amla). […]
