Over to the recipe,
Ingredients
Gooseberry/Amla/Nellikka: 15 (big ones)
Jaggery: 300-400gms
Lemon Juice: of 1 lemon
Salt: a pinch (to adjust the taste)
Ginger: 2” piece
Method Of Preparation
Wash the gooseberries and
add to the pressure cooker. Add some water and keep on stove and wait for one
whistle and switch off the flame.
Let the pressure release.
Take out the gooseberries
from water and discard the seeds from it. (Don’t throw away the water, use that
water itself)
Again add the gooseberry
to the pressure cooker with the same water.
Keep again on flame. Wait for
3-4 whistles. Let the pressure release.
Meanwhile, in another pan
add jaggery, grated ginger together with ½ cup water.
Keep this on flame and let
it boil and let the jaggery melt. Switch off the flame when jaggery melts and
strain this and keep aside.
Open the cooker after the
pressure releases. Keep it on flame without closing the lid.
Mash the gooseberries with
back of lid or a masher. Let it boil and become thick. At this stage add the
jaggery syrup and salt to it. When boils put the flame to the medium and stir occasionally
till it starts leaving from the sides.
When it starts leaving
from the sides stir frequently and add lemon juice at this stage.
Switch off the flame when you get the consistency of
jam. (To check the consistency, take the cold saucer
out of the freezer, put a little jam on it, and put it back in to cool for a
minute. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, then it's done.)
Switch off the flame when done.
When cooled, store in
an air tight bottle.
Note: You can have this as a spread or can consume a teaspoon of it daily in the morning and evening.
