Ingredients

• 500 g Amla (Indian Gooseberries) (washed, stems removed, quartered)
• 2 cups Water (enough to cover amla in pressure cooker)
• 2 tbsp Whole Spices (assorted – cinnamon stick, cloves, green cardamom pods, black peppercorns, cumin seeds; dry‑roasted then ground)
• 3 tbsp Ghee (unsalted, melted)
• 1 cup Jaggery (grated or chopped)
