Green apple curry

January 19, 2015

This is my sister in law's recipe. When we were in Chennai whenever I used to visit her house she will make this dish for me. But she will make it with raw mango. Now when we meet here now  in Australia, as raw mango not available she only suggested me to make this recipe with green apple.
I tried this recipe with green apple and really it came out very well!
Since raw mango is sour, no need to add tamarind, but here  I add very small amount of tamarind paste

Ingredients:


Green apple                 : 1
Onion                          : 1/2
Garlic (optional)         : 1clove
Green chillies             : 2
Ginger                        : 1/2"pc
Chilli pdr                    : 1tsp
Turmeric pdr              : 1/4tsp
Coriander pdr             : 2tsp
Coconut milk             : 1/4cup
Mustard seeds            : 1/2tsp
Tamarind paste           :1/4tsp
Salt to taste
Oil                             : 2 tbsp


Method:


Chop onion, green chillies and ginger into small pieces.
Cut green apple into small pieces. 
Heat oil in a kadai add mustard seed, when it pops add chopped garlic, ginger and green chillies. Fry for a while till it changes the colour. Then add the chopped onion and saute till it is transparent.
Reduce the flame, and add chilli pdr, coriander pdr and turmeric pdr, fry till the raw smell goes.



 Then add the green apple  pieces to this and saute for a few seconds and add 1/4 tsp of tamarind paste and  1 cup of water. Add salt and let it boil for one or two mins. Then add the coconut milk to this and boil for 2 mins.


 Remove from fire and add curry leaves. It goes well with hot steamed rice!!
