Bring water to a boil.
Add the gooseberries to the boiling water and boil them for 2-3 minutes. The gooseberries will become soft.
Next, drain the gooseberries from the water and keep aside. Preserve the water as well.

Next, add the green chilies.
Then add the boiled gooseberries.
Lastly, top it up with the preserved water.
Close the lid and give a shake.
Place the mixture in sunlight for a day. Make sure to keep placing it in sunlight every alternate day.
