Nelikai Thovayal(Gooseberry Chutney)
I made this chutney because I was bored of this regular ones. I don't get fresh gooseberries here in NY so I used frozen one but I am sure fresh would taste even better. This goes well with dosa and its definitely guest recommended. I am a person who loves lots of variety in my food and I kind of liked its flavor for sure. My mom was behind me to try this out and my hubby loved it a lot. Recipe is very simple and here it goes...
