I would like to sense current in 230V ,500mA circuit.
How can i do that,is it possible to amplify the signal before giving to the controller or ADC

You don't say whether you are measuring AC or DC, but I guess from the 230V that it is AC, in which case you need a current transformer. You can buy these but they are not ridiculously cheap. A google will lead you to lots of DIY versions. A totally outrageous version is here:
