I so loved it …made it the other day…my mum used to always say when we were kids..an amla is equivalent to 2 oranges in vitamin C…my MIL was equally happy to hear i cooked nutritious food…
Thanks Shilpa…is there any section in your website which deals exclusively with health food?

I think fresh ones also will be good for this.

Hi Shilpa

Can this be made with fresh gooseberries – I have seen fresh ones here but not dried ones. Will look out for the dried ones in the India store next time.

Hi Shilpa,
I made this tambli. It was unbeleivably satisfying. I was wondering if one can also make tambli with fresh cranberries ? I have a packet of those lying at home and nobody wants to eat them because of its sourish taste. I would appreciate your response.

We mix the amla pieces with salt and sundry them. Sometimes we do add a little chilli powder to it along with salt. This is the traditional way of making the awla supari at our place.
Some people mix little crushed jeera with amla before drying.
Then there are other ways like soaking in buttermilk/yogurt along with spices etc. We usually make it simple as I mentioned.

Hi Shilpa
can you please ask Aayi how to prepare awla supari.I am sure she must be knowing the exact proportions.I think it must be on similar lines mentioned above by Medha Shanbhag.I wanted it for my kid who does not it simple dried awla.

Shilpa, we also make a similar dish called nellikai pachadi on the day of dwadhashi.But we stem the amla, and grind it along with coconut, green chillies,corriander leaves and saltThen we add the curds and tadka with mustard and broken urad, LOvely During the amla season we make it with fresh amla, steamed similarly so that it is soft to grind
