ಆಮ್ಲ ದಿಢೀರ್ ಉಪ್ಪಿನಕಾಯಿ | ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ನೆಲ್ಲಿಕಾಯಿ ದಿಢೀರ್ ಮತ್ತು ಬಿಸಿ ಉಪ್ಪಿನಕಾಯಿ |
This is the dry/instant (bisi uppinakayi) version of pickle using Indian gooseberry/amla/bettada nellikayi. I use almost the same set of ingredients, which I use for the wet version of amla pickle.
The procedure is different and instant we can say, as it can be consumed from the very next day. Everyday 1 or 2 slice of amla pickle, which is good for health and serves the purpose of an accompaniment with rice, roti etc
If not consuming it everyday then it would be ideal to refrigerate it and use as & when needed for it stays good for more days
The other amla recipes in my blog are – achari amla subji , amla pickle , amla pickle/tokku , and various types of chutneys like amla chutney , dhaniya-amla chutney , Pudina-amla chutney , amla curd chutney .
