As we all know amla is the number one food that contains more vitamin C than any other seasonal food. Its medicinal properties are not so good for human beings. Whenever amla is available, it is good to use it for something like this. Amla can be sliced and dried and eaten throughout the year or added to curries. Amla works as an immunity booster for us.

Urad dal(black gram) – one tablespoon

Fenugreek – one teaspoon

Cumin – one teaspoon

Mustard – one teaspoon

Chives – a little

Curry leaves – a little

Turmeric - a little

Preparation Method

First, we have to take peanuts and roast them in a pan with a low flame and keep them aside. Roast the amla pieces till the rawness goes away and keeps aside, And take a little fenugreek, mustard seeds, urad dal, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and a little butter in a pan, slightly warmed pan, and let it cook for a while. Add dry chili or green chili to it and roast it. A little turmeric should also be applied. Now put them in a mixer and grind them. It should be broken rather than soft and add to that mixer the peanuts and amla pieces that we fried earlier and grind them in a mixer.

Tempering

We have to add tempering(Tadka) to this. How to do that, put a pan on the stove and add a little mustard, cumin, urad dal, and a little bit of butter. If you want, you can also add garlic. Some people don't like garlic. Place the curry leaves also. Asafoetida powder should be applied. Some people use asafoetida in roti pickles some people do not use it. Now your favorite immunity-booster amla roti pickle is ready.
