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.

Nice compilations of recipes Shilpa. I do like and check your website daily but never commented.
I made dosa(from scratch) recently after 3 years and it turned out really good.
3:1 ratio of any rice to urad dal. But my Mom suggested to use 2 spoons of cooked rice and 2 spoons of avalakki while grinding the rice. This makes the dosa crepe like Masala Dosa.
The dosa batter was next kept in the Oven BUT “with the oven light switched on”. This helped the batter. I do the same for the making yogurt in winter.
