GREEN APPLE SALAD
Like many others, I too love green apples. They are pretty expensive as compared to the red apples varieties but I assure you they are well worth the additional cost! More often than not we eat them as such, but here is a recipe for an interesting salad made with green apples.
I tried out this green apple salad recently and it was truly delicious. This recipe is courtesy my friend, Asha Satish Philar, cookery expert and a fine person who is the author of the popular cookery book, "Konkani Saraswat Cookbook."
Ingredients:
Wash, peel and core the green apple
Cut the apple into small pieces and smear them with a little lime juice to prevent discolouration
Soak the raisins in a little warm water for about 10-15 minutes
Drain the water from the raisins
In a bowl, beat the curd until smooth and add the apple pieces, raisin, crushed green chillies, chopped coriander leaves, and salt and sugar to taste. Keep aside.
To prepare the seasoning :
Heat oil in a pan, and on medium heat add the mustard seeds and when they splutter add the asafoetida and curry leaves and saute for a few seconds
Pour this seasoning over the salad
Mix well and serve.
