Boil a glass of water in a pressure cooker
Add the washed amlas in it and pressure cook for a whistle on medium heat.
When the amlas cool down and comes to room temperature then press them slightly and separate all the segments.
Discard all the seeds.
In a big bowl add the amlas and the sugar and mix gently.
Cover the bowl with a lid and keep aside for a day.
Next day stir it and cover and keep aside for 2 days.
After 3rd day all the amlas will sink in the bottom of the bowl after absorbing the sugar syrup.
Drain the amlas from the sugar syrup and spread on a plate and keep in direct sunlight for a day or 2
When all the moisture dry from amla and it is no longer sticky from outside then its done.
No need to make amla dry and hard ,it should be dry from outside but remain soft from inside.
Now take amlas in a bowl and sprinkle about 3 tbsp of castor sugar on it and mix properly to coat well.
If you want to make spicy amla then add all the spices along with the castor sugar and mix well.
keep for a day in the covered bowl and then store in a air tight jar and enjoy.
You can boil the sugar syrup till it thicken and become like honey then store it in a glass bottle and use as a healthy amla sharbat .
