I wanted to try chutney / Thogayal with Gooseberry for a while. My husband and I normally take one gooseberry every day. I was not sure whether kids would like it. So I kept postponing making it. Other day when I was cleaning the fridge I had left over gooseberry and my kids were having their dinner outside since it is just me and my husband I decided try this chutney I have tried this with Dosa / Rava upuma. It tasted good and I had some left over which I asked my son to try it out. He said it is strangely nice.. If you can interpret as u wish. For me since he finished his plate and took his second serving I interpreted as he liked it
