    Arai Nellikai Oorugai – This small or star gooseberries or arai nelliaki as we call in tamil brings back fond childhood school memories.Though I am not fond of this I used to have it once in a while seeing all my automates relish it every time our auto man gets it.These small gooseberries will be mixed with salt and chilli powder which will wrapped in a small newspaper and given to us for just 10 paise, the face reaction after having a bite it was so funny, good old days.

    After that I haven’t seen this variety of gooseberry in shops.I got this arai nellikai from my friend which was from their farm.So made this pickle at once and clicked it, food bloggers mind you see.
