- Stove
Ingredients
- 3 Apples any tart variety – 3
- 5 tablespoon Nalla ennai/sesame oil can be substituted with olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Fenugreek powder
- 1 ½ tablespoon Red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon Asafetida
- Salt as needed
Instructions
- Dry roast the fenugreek seeds and grind it into powder. Keep it aside.
- Clean the apples, core it, peel the skin and grate it using a grater.
- Heat oil in a kadai or a non stick pan. Add the mustard seeds and once the seeds splutter, add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, asafetida and the fenugreek powder. Fry it for about 30 secs and then add the grated apples.
- Mix well and cook it in low flame. Cover the pan to allow the apples to cook. Keep stirring once in a while to prevent the apples from burning.
- After about 30 mins, you would see that the apples are cooked and they are mushy in appearance. Cook it for 10 mins or so with the lid opened. Keep stirring. At this stage the oil will start to float and the thokku will start leaving the sides of the pan.
- Turn off the flame and let it cool down. Store the apple thokku in an airtight container. Refrigerate for longer shelf life.
