By malas-kitchen (Visit website)



Nellikai is nothing but Indian Gooseberry, In Hindi it is Amla. In Kannada & Tamil called Nelllikai. This fruit is sour and good for health and often used in Ayurvedic Medicines. In South India made they make tasty pickles using this. My mother makes Pickles, Raita, and Dry Powder using Gooseberries.
