• Fenugreek seeds
• Fennel seeds
• Red chili powder
• Turmeric powder
• Asafoetida (hing)
• Salt

Preparation Process

The preparation of GrannyMade Amla Pickle follows a traditional recipe passed down through generations. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process:

1. Handpicking Amla: The journey begins with the careful selection of the ripest and juiciest Amla berries. Handpicked to ensure exceptional quality, these berries form the foundation of the pickle.

2. Cleaning and Slicing: The Amla berries are meticulously cleaned to remove any impurities. They are then sliced into manageable pieces, ensuring that each piece absorbs the spices and retains its uniqueness.

3. Marination: Sliced Amla pieces are marinated in a blend of salt, turmeric, and other spices. This process allows the Amla to soak in the spices, setting the stage for the delicious flavor profile.

4. Aging: The marinated mixture is then left to age naturally in a controlled environment for several days. Aging enhances the flavors and ensures that the spices penetrate deep into the Amla pieces.

5. Tempering: A vital step in the process, tempering involves cooking the aged Amla mixture in mustard oil along with a blend of fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and asafoetida. This step not only ensures a rich, aromatic flavor but also increases the shelf life of the pickle naturally.

6. Packaging: Finally, the prepared pickle is packed into sterilized glass jars, sealing in its freshness and flavors without the need for artificial preservatives.
