Ingredients:

Gooseberry (Nellikkai) - 5 Nos
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Chilli Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Asafotida Powder - a pinch
Fenugreek seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Gingelly Oil - 1 tablespoon
Mustard - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon or as per taste

Method:

Pour two cups of water in a vessel and bring to boil. Add the whole gooseberries along with little salt and turmeric powder. Allow to cook for five minutes. Then switch off the stove and close the vessel with lid. Let it stand for few more minutes.

Then remove the gooseberries from the water. Take the gooseberry and gently press it on the top. The seed will come out and pods get separated. This is an easy method. If you cannot do this, then just remove the seed using knife and cut the goosebeery into lengthwise. Sprinkle salt, red chilli powder and asafotida powder and mix well.

In a kadai put a teaspoon of oil and fry fenugreek seeds lightly. Remove and powder it.

Same kadai pour the remaining oil and when it is hot add mustard. When it pops up add the gooseberry pieces and stir well. Stir fry for few seconds. Finally add the fenugreek powder, mix it once again and remove.

It stays good for two to three days.
