Instant apple pickle / thokku

I love pickles a lot, instant mango pickle is one of my favorite. Recently a friend of mine in STL told me about this pickle. From then on this is the 3rd time I am making in this month. It was a hit in the potluck too :)

Ingredients :

Granysmith geeen apple - 2

Oil - 3 table spoon

Red chilly power 1.5 table spoon

Mustard - 1/3 tsp

Hing - generous pinch

Fenugreek - 1/8 tsp

Curry leaf - 1 spring

Salt to taste

Method:

Cut the apple in to thin pieces with the skin on.

Heat oil in a pan when hot add mustard and fenugreek. Switch off and then add the curry leaves , chilly powder and salt.

Now add the apples to it . Toss it well . Turn the flame on .

Sauté for a min and switch off if you like the crunchy version else sauté for few minutes in low flame.

Meanwhile dry roast the fenugreek for few seconds and make them to a powder in pestel.

Add 3/4  of this ground powder to the apple mix.

And sauté  for few more minutes.

Switch off and let it cool and then store in airtight container.

Njoy with yogurt rice !

This stays good in fridge for a week.

Adjust the oil and spicy leavel according to the size of the apple.
