Prepare the Amla: Begin by carefully de-seeding the gooseberries (amla) and chop them finely. Set the chopped amla aside for later use.

Prepare the Tempering: In a small skillet, heat the mustard oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add the roasted and powdered methi seeds, asafoetida (hing), and red chilli powder to the skillet, stirring them in quickly to avoid burning.

Combine and Mix: Pour the tempering over the chopped amla and mix well, ensuring that the gooseberries are coated evenly with the spices. Add salt to taste and give it another good stir to incorporate all the ingredients.

Serve: The Nellikai Oorugai / Amla Sambhariyo is now ready to be served! This instant pickle pairs wonderfully with sambar and some steamed rice, adding a zesty and tangy flavor that elevates your meal.
