¼ cup oil (any cooking oil or if you like it sesame oil)
1 tbsp mustard seeds
Few curry leaves
½ tsp hing/asafetida powder
4 methi/fenugreek seeds
½ tsp haldi/turmeric powder
1 tbsp red chilli powder/cayenne
1 tbsp sambar powder (or any curry powder of your choice)
1 tbsp garam masala powder
Salt to taste

Instructions

Peel, core and grate apples (make large grates); do this just before you start to cook to prevent it from browning.
Heat oil in a large deep saucepan and add mustard seeds to it. Once they start to splutter and crackle, add curry leaves, methi seeds and hing powder. Let it aromatize the oil for a few seconds.
Immediately, add grated apples along with salt, chilli powder, sambar powder and garam masala powder.
Mix well and cook on medium heat, stirring often until the apples are well cooked, all the moisture is gone and the oil starts to separate. Remove from heat and let cool.
Serve with idlis, dosas, chapattis, rotis, parathas, as a spread for bread or even mixed up with some rice and ghee! It goes great as a condiment with curd/yogurt rice too! Enjoy!!
