Apples are one of those fruits that lends itself well to sweet, dessert recipes and curries and savory alike. Spicy fritters from apples also make a more-ish snack! Lip smacking and tangy apple chutney is another mouthwatering dish. They go perfectly when added to potato curries.

Notes
Skip rasam powder if not available but increase chilli powder in that case. This dish needs to be bit spicy, sweet and have a slight tang.
If you want it more tart, you may sprinkle some lime juice in the end.
Asafoetida is optional if not available but zing from ginger is a must!
Use either homemade or store bought rasam powder. It is easily available in Indian stores. It is a blend of spices commonly used to make a South Indian traditional dish called ‘rasam’. Rasam is a spicy lentil based soup.
Quantity of rasam powder to be added depends on how strong is the one you are using.
