Neer Nellikkai
You need:
Nellikkai (Gooseberry)
Turmeric powder
Salt – 2 to 3 spoons
Water – enough quantity so that water level is above the berries.
Method:
Boil the water in a bowl; add the salt and turmeric powder. Bring the flame to low and add the gooseberries. Boil the gooseberries for some more time, till the berries become little soft. When cool, keep in Glass or porcelain jars. DO NOT use plastic containers.
This is the traditional way to preserve gooseberries for quite long time. It can be kept in refrigerator also to preserve for a longer time.
This can be used as pickle along with Curd rice, especially for children. Also these preserved berries can be used to make chutneys and pickles, which I will write in later posts.
For an additional Flavor, add 1 or 2 green chilies and little chopped ginger.
