I have used big sized amlas so I steam cook them and removed the segments ,but if you are using small size amla then just steam cook them and use them whole ,no need to separate the segments. Due to oxidation the pickle change its colour after 2-3 weeks and turn greenish but no need to worry or to discard the pickle it is good to use even after the change in the colour.
