Oil Free Amla Pickle- A very healthy and easy to make Oil Free Indian gooseberry pickle

Oil Free Amla Pickle is my favourite pickle to make during winter season . During winter we easily get good quality amlas at very reasonable price. There are so many recipes to make with amla’s, we can make sabji, pickle, murabba, candy,mukhwas and many more preserve with amla’s.

I usually make big batches of amla candy and pickles to use through out the year. Amla pickle is made in oil and athela method which is oil free. Amla athela pickle in made by 2 methods – some prefer to add raw amla in boiling water and keep it for 1-2 week so the amla softens gradually. The second athela amla method is to boil amla and add in brine solution , this way amla can be consumed from the next day.

You can choose which ever way suits you. I have shared a simple brine solution wala athela amla before and today I am sharing a different spicy version of amla pickle recipe, which is my favourite now.

I always add some ginger slices , green chilies , carrots and fresh turmeric with amla in this oil free amla pickle but its optional , you can add whatever suits you or can make with only amla’s. Addition of mustard seeds should not be skipped as this gives a nice tanginess to the pickle and due to the sourness of it the amla pickle will not taste tart .
