Achari Amla Raita | Gooseberry Recipes By Masterchefmom

Hi Supermoms,

We all know that gooseberry/amla/nellikai is a superfruit. Did you know that, a 100-gram serving of fresh Amla contains as much Vitamin C as 20 Oranges. It is also rich in anti-oxidants. Amla helps in controlling Diabetes, improving your digestion, strengthening your eyesight, enhancing your immunity,  better memory and Brain Health.

We must try and include it in our diet regularly. I have successfully substituted Amla in place of Tamarind, Lemon etc in many recipes without compromising on taste.  I have shared plenty of  gooseberry recipes on my blog. Do try them out and give me your feedback. 

Today I am sharing another quick amla recipe that everyone will love - Achari Amla Raita.
