Gooseberry pickle /Amla pickle/ nellikai pickle

Hi all,
       Gooseberry is a fruit which is very good for our hair,  eyes, skin etc. Even though there are several Pickles available this pickle has a unique taste. When I was young,  my mom's mom used to prepare in big glass bottle and sent it for me.
Some even put the gooseberry in brine solution for soaking. My grandma's method is that. But in this fast world we can't wait for so long time. So I have steamed it to speed up the softening of gooseberry.
