Start by cooking the rice. In a deep pan, bring enough water to boil. The water level should be to ½-inch above the rice. Add rice and let it simmer covered, on low-medium flame, until the rice gets cooked. Turn off the flame and let the rice rest for five minutes. Once done, drain off the excess water, take a fork and fluff the rice so you will have nice separate grains. Keep the cooked rice aside.
Heat oil into a pan. Add mustard seeds and let it fry until they start to sizzle.
Add urad dal, red chillies, curry leaves, dried fruits and a pinch of asafetida. Fry until urad dal starts to change color.
Now add grated gooseberries, turmeric powder and salt. Mix all together and stir fry for 5 minutes, on medium flame.
Bring cooked rice into the pan, stir fry for 3 minutes and the gooseberry rice is ready to serve!
