Cape Gooseberry Relish (Rasbhari Chutney)

Cape Gooseberry, also known as Rasbhari or Golden Berry, is a small, orange-colored fruit that’s sweet and tart in flavor. These small, round fruits (about 1-2 cm in diameter) resemble miniature yellow tomatoes and are encased in a papery husk. Native to Chile and Peru, they’re now cultivated in many parts of the world.
Cape Gooseberries are rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to various dishes.
