This is lip smacking delicious.
Wow..yummy Nellika curd chutney…i used to make it in different way..yours recipe is so nice…i will try soon….
Are these large gooseberries amla fruit? They look very much like it. Here in the UK our gooseberries are smaller and oval in shape. They are sour enough to be used as a substitute for amla, but I don't think they are quite as high in vitamin C as amla.
