Amla pickle /Instant Amla thokku is a specialty from Southern India. It is a very delicious and easy to follow recipe and need just few basic ingredients.

Amla is an amazing wonder fruit which is packed with so many nutrients thus gives numerous  health benefits. Good quality amla is very easily available during winter and is reasonably priced  . It is sour ,astringent and pungent in taste and green in colour ,choose amla which is fresh and shiny and without any bruise and brown spots on the skin

Amla is a power house of goodness, a great source of vitamin C, very good for skin and hairs. A very rich source of antioxidants and fibre, good for diabetic and heart patients and help in reducing body weight and many more health benefits, Amla is also very good for cold and cough ailments so it is a good idea to use amla daily in our diet.

In Indian cooking Amla is used usually to make murabba,chutney, pickles and candy,but we can also make squash and sharbat from amla. Today I am sharing a very easy and delicious Instant amla pickle recipe. You can make this pickle or chutney and easily store in your refrigerator for a long shelf life.
