Ingredients (Makes 1 cup candy)

• 500g amla (Indian gooseberries)

• 1 cup sugar (adjust as per taste)

• ½ tsp black salt (kala namak, optional) (for tanginess)

• ½ tsp cardamom powder (optional) (for a mild aroma)

• ½ tsp lemon juice (optional, for extra tanginess)

Instructions

Step 1: Boil & Prepare Amla

1. Wash amla thoroughly and boil in water for 5-7 minutes until they soften.

2. Drain the water and let them cool completely.

3. Gently press the amla to separate the segments and remove the seeds.

Step 2: Soak in Sugar

1. In a bowl, mix amla pieces with sugar and let it sit for 24-48 hours.

2. The sugar will release moisture, forming a sweet syrup.

3. Strain the syrup (you can use it as a healthy drink).

Step 3: Dry the Amla

1. Spread the amla pieces on a tray lined with parchment paper.

2. Sun-dry for 2-3 days or until they turn dry and slightly chewy. (Alternatively, bake at 60°C (140°F) for 2-3 hours in an oven.)

3. Once dried, coat with black salt & cardamom powder.
