AMLA RECIPE 1: Amla n Almond Chutney

Amla and Almond Chutney( health quotient too high)

(for 2-3 persons )

Blend together in a chutney pot:  3 amlas(grated), 20 roasted almonds(roughly chopped), 1-2 tbsp chopped dhania patta,  1 healthy clove of garlic and 1 small green chilli-chopped, black salt ½ tsp and salt to taste. May add 2-3 tender curry leaves, and a few mint leaves, if you have.  Great way to build in amla into regular diet.Having 1 to 1&1/2 tbsp of this on a regular basis has high health benefits. Serve with anything – idli, dosa, roti, paratha, rice etc. –as a side accompaniment.

If no health issues, you may use roasted cashew nuts and/ or roasted peanuts in place of or along with roasted almonds.

I had learnt this from a Punjabi aunty ( Thanks, Bakshi aunty !!) Tastes great.
