I love pickles! I also love making pickles at home just like my mom or grandma.  I guess some habits just pass over from one generation to another :).. My husband bought these gooseberries few days back and I have been thinking of pickling them but could not get any time. Finally, I got the gooseberries out of refrigerator today and decided to make Nellikai thokku.
Nellikai thokku is an instant gooseberry pickle. This pickle has a sweet and spicy flavor combination and goes really well with curd rice, stuffed parathas, theplas etc.. So, sharing the recipe for Nellikai thokku today. Hope you all try it out and share the feedback with me..
