Nellikai Pachadi - Gooseberry Thokku
Call it thokku, pachadi, chutney. I tried gooseberry pachadi today and pleased with the results. We have run out of home-made pickles that comes from India. I referred to Jeyashree's Recipe and Indira's recipe .
As you all know by now, I suck at write ups. So here is the result in pictures.
Three pounds of frozen gooseberries. For information about gooseberry refer wiki
roasted cup of red round chillies, tablespoon of fenugreek and 5 tablespoons mustard - Cool and grind this in a coffee grinder - (Spice mix powder)
Gooseberries steamed in idlicooker for 10 mins
Remove seeds and grind into a paste
Heat a cup of oil, Add slices of 10 garlic. Add the gooseberry paste and a teaspoon of turmeric
Add the spice powder, 4 tblsp salt and approximately 1 cup of sambar powder. Continued to saute for 30+ minutes. Then add quarter cup oil seasoned with two tablespoon mustard.
Cooled and bottled.

Does this have a long shelf life, Revathi???
revathi pachadhi looks soooo gooddd
Hi JEyashree -
I dont think the nellikai pachadi will have shelf life as much as pickles do. Also I used way too less oil. So I am going to keep this refriderated - Will see how long this keeps.
I have never heard of this, but this is just the kind of stuff I like... I can just imagine the taste!
That looks super delicious. BTW, where did you get the gooseberries? From the indian stores? I have to startlooking for it.
Kribha
