Method:

  • Take the 4 green apples and wash them well. Pat dry with a kitchen towel. Discard the seeds and chop them roughly.

 

  • Heat a pan with oil and temper with mustard seed followed by asafoetida. Add the chopped green apple and mix. Add salt, chilli powder & turmeric powder. Mix well again.

 

  • It will get cooked very quickly, say in about 3-5 mins. Mix well. Another couple of mins and it will turn mushy. This stage is perfect for this thokku.
