Ingredients
- 2 cups Amla (Indian Gooseberry)
- 3/4 cup Jaggery
- 1/4 tsp Hing (Asafoetida)
- 3/4 tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Jeera (Cumin) Powder
- 3/4 tsp Black Salt
- Salt: A little, to taste
- Pepper: A pinch
Instructions
- Wash the amla thoroughly and steam them until soft (about 10-15 minutes).
- Once cooled, deseed the amla and mash it into a smooth pulp using a mixer or masher.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on low heat and add the mashed amla.
- Add jaggery to the pan and stir continuously until it melts and combines with the amla pulp.
- Add hing, chilli powder, jeera powder, black salt, regular salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes thick and sticky. This step is crucial for shaping the golis.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- Once cooled, grease your palms with a little oil or water and shape the mixture into small bite-sized golis (balls).
- Store the golis in an airtight container and enjoy them as a healthy snack!
