Ingredients:

  • 3-4 medium sized fresh gooseberries
  • 1/2-3/4 cup coriander leaves
  • 2-3 green chillies
  • Salt to taste

For tempering:

  • 1.5 - 2 tablespoons of oil
  • 6-8 garlic cloves

Serves: 2

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 3-4 minutes


Preparation Method:

1. Wash gooseberries, Roughly chop them.

2. Fry them using few drops of oil in a tempering pan until they change in colour from dark green to pale green. They should take under a minute. Saute at intervals please.

3. Grind them along with fresh coriander, green chillies & salt into a smooth paste using as much water as you need.

4. Transfer the ground paste into a cooking vessel. Add enough water to make a watery saaru. It will thicken considerably on cooking & on cooling down. So keep it watery in consistency to begin with.

5. Add salt & bring it to boil. Then simmer for 2 minutes on medium heat until rawness of coriander leaves fade off. Remove it off heat.

6. Tempering: Heat oil in a tempering pan, add in slightly crushed garlic. Fry them until they turn golden brown. Add this tempering to the saaru & mix well.

Peeled or unpeeled garlic, your choice.

7. Serve hot with steaming hot rice & enjoy. 

P.S: Keep the saaru a little on the spicy side & enjoy.
