Amla Rice | Nellikai Satham | How to make Amla Rice | How to make Nellikai Satham - Naughty Little BEES Kitchen

Amla/Nellikai is the rich source of Vitamin C & E. Here we get amla in winter season. Amla rice taste great with Potato curry/chips. It looks like lemon rice only😄 . So I didn't struggle much with my little one while feeding this to her. She liked that yellow rice(kids notice color than taste) with peanuts. You can feel sour taste of amla, tangy taste of lemon with nice smell of green chilies & crunchy peanuts.
