Gooseberry eaten in any form is good for health. I have used the gooseberries which are stored in salt water for this recipe. It remains good for a long time. After 10-15 days, it becomes very soft. One gooseberry in the morning along with breakfast is very good for health, specially for diabetic patients.

In South india, gooseberries are boiled in salt water with little turmeric powder and stored. Then whenever we want, the gooseberries can be used to make chutney.

What about gooseberries stored as it is (not in salt water)? Of course we'll have to add extra salt, but does it have any other effect on the process/recipe? For e.g. Are the gooseberries too dry or hard, or can we follow the recipe as it is with additional salt?

Yes you can follow the same recipe. However, I would suggest you to boil the gooseberries in salted water for few minutes. This makes it a little softer for easy blending.
