Amlas washed , wiped and ready to be cut
Grinding ingredients loaded into the blender jar

As soon as the mustard seeds are about to splutter, add curry leaves and peanuts, by the time the dhals get golden in color, peanuts also will be rightly roasted
Add the pulsed amla mixture and saute for 3-4 minutes. Since amlas can be eaten raw also, there is no need to saute them till the raw smell disappears. Salt to taste added

Serve this very tasty amla rice with raita of your choice, or just some curds.
Note
*No need to add lemon juice, then the flavor of amla will get confused, it may taste like lemon rice.
