Gooseberry Rice (Nellikai Sadam)

My Father used to tell me to give gooseberry to the kids everyday. I tried to give them as plain or just plain cooked or honey candy even as pickle. They didn’t like it. I started eating raw one (one per day) for the past 1 month. Since kids love lemon rice I decided to replace lemon with Gooseberry try out this rice. They got addicted to it 🙂

Cooked Rice – 1 cups ( I used White Bastmati)
Gooseberry (small size) – 15
