Ingredients:
For tempering:
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Preparation Method:
1. Wash gooseberries, Roughly chop them.
2. Fry them for under a minute using few drops of oil in a tempering pan.
3. Grind them along with fresh coriander, green chillies & salt into a smooth paste using as much water as you need.
4. Transfer 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 until rawness of coriander leaves fade off on medium heat. Remove 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.
7. Serve hot with steaming hot rice & enjoy.
P.S: Keep the saaru a little on the spicy side to enjoy.
