  • Red Chilli Powder 1/2 tsp
  • Kashmiri Chilli Powder 1/4 tsp
  • Turmeric Powder 1/4 tsp
  • Fenugreek Powder 1/4 tsp
  • Cumin Powder 1/4 tsp
  • Salt
  • Mustard Seeds 1 tsp
  • Gingelly Oil 2 to 3 tbsp

Method

Wash and nellika/ gooseberry, keep it aside. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, once it splutter add fenugreek powder, keep the flame on low. Now add grated nellika / gooseberry and stir well. Add red chilli powder, kashmiri chilli powder and turmeric powder. Add salt and mix well. 

Cook it on low medium flame till all the moisture is absorbed. It may take 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Store in airtight container and keep it in the fridge. Serve with warm rice.
