Amla Gajar Sabji| Nellikai Carrot Poriyal | Gooseberry Carrot Stir Fry | Gooseberry Recipes by Masterchefmom


Nellikai Carrot Poriyal

Hi Supermoms,

As promised, I am back with another gooseberry/nellikai/amla recipe. Gooseberry is extremely good for our health and this recipe is super simple too. Use season's freshest gooseberries to make this recipe. 

As markets are flooded with  red carrots ( Delhi carrots) and fresh red chillies ( the long variety),  I have used them along with gooseberry. The spicy red chillies and the sweet carrots balance the sourness of gooseberry and makes this dish totally delicious.

Quick and healthy stir fry that tastes great as a side dish for rotis as well as rice.
