Notes

Note-
  1. If possible don't make this pickle in a big batch as it become soft after some time .so I prefer to make small batches of this pickle as it is available easily during winters.
  2. The pickle change the color after some times and turns slightly greenish due to oxidation but is fine to consume .
  3. You can store it in refrigeration for a long shelf life.
  4. If the amla is small in size then use it whole.
  5. You can also add fresh green chili pieces in it.
