If you’re craving a pickle that’s tangy, spicy, and packed with health benefits, Avala Pickle (made from Indian Gooseberries or amla) is the perfect choice. This traditional Indian pickle not only satisfies your taste buds but also boosts your immunity, digestion, and overall well-being.


Let’s dive into the goodness of amla and how you can easily prepare this nutrient-rich pickle at home.


Why Amla (Avala)?

Amla is a superfruit in Indian cuisine, known for its:

High Vitamin C content

Antioxidant properties

Digestive benefits

Hair and skin-enhancing qualities

Preserving it as a pickle means you get to enjoy its benefits year-round, with a burst of flavor at every meal.


Ingredients You’ll Need

250 grams fresh amla (Indian gooseberry)

2 tbsp mustard seeds

1 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi)

2 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)

½ tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp asafoetida (hing)

Salt to taste

100 ml sesame oil (or mustard oil for extra pungency)

1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for added tang)


How to Make Avala Pickle


1. Steam or Boil the Amla

Wash the amla thoroughly.

Steam or boil them for 8–10 minutes until soft (but not mushy).

Let them cool, then remove the seeds and separate them into segments.
