Apple Curry/ Apple Sabji

Well, I don't know how but we landed up with a lot of apples in the house with no takers! My husband has raw apple allergy so he's excused and my daughter just decided not to eat them and that left poor me to finish all the apples. There was no way I could finish them; so then, I came up with this idea of an apple sabji!

Strangely my husband does not have the allergy for cooked apples! Anyhow, this curry is made with no onions and as such with slight variations can be adapted for eating during Fasting and Vrat.

This recipe qualifies for this blog as " An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away" and apples combined with all the good spices like cumin , turmeric, coriander and ginger!

Ingredients:

6 ripe apples
1 green chilli, slit
1/4 " piece of grated ginger
1 teaspoon oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon Cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 chilli powder
Salt to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon/lime
Coriander leaves for garnish

Method:

• Core and dice the apples. Peel them if you prefer. I peeled the apples.
• Heat oil in the pan.
• Once oil is heated, add the cumin seeds.
• As the seeds splutter, add the green chillies, ginger and apple pieces.
• When apples are half cooked, add all the spices.
• Cook till apples are soft. Add salt.
  
• Finally add the lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves

Apples absorb flavors very well, be careful when adding chillies or chilli powder.
