  • To the same kadai, add 1 tablespoon oil, chopped amla pieces and let them fry for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make a rough paste out of these ingredients in the mortar pestle.
  • To the same kadai, add chopped amaranth leaves, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook the amaranth leaves and amla together till done. It took around 5 minutes on a medium flame for me.
  • Now add this amaranth leaves mixture to the mortar pestle and make a rough paste.
  • It should be rough paste as shown in below picture. And you can make this in the mixer grinder as well but just make sure that you don't grind it into a smooth paste.
