Does anyone have a favorite recipe that uses green apples? I know about the apple pie, but I was hoping to get some indian recipe from somebody.

Dear Madam,
Apple - 2 nos.
little bit of tamarind paste or juice
salt and fried red chillies
Cut the apples into pieces and fry them (No deep frying)until it half cooked alon wiht little asafoetida. Allow it to cool and grind them in a mixie with tamarind juice and salt as needed. It forms a nice chutney for dosa or any tiffin items.

Yes Jayaji, why not have a recipe exchange too. I'll allot a separate section for it. Recently, one of my friend commented that she is tired of depending on her mom/mom-in-law for things like vadavam and sambarpodi. And you know how all of us are, no matter where we live, we'll never give up our preference for sambars. While Sambar-podi is not that hard to make at home, vadaams are a different story. And, it is so hard to forget about them completely! There is always someone trying to entice you with exotic vadavams whenever they visit from India. So, one of my friend wants to try to make it here (US), and she is trying to recruit her other friends for support!
I'm interested in collecting recipes for "stuff" that is not easily available in any restaurants/sweet shop. I am not sure about what is/isn't available in sweet shops in India, but I know that certain sweets like Thirattipaal that my grandma makes, can't be available in stores, even if it is, then it is not going to taste the same!
(That's enough lata, don't digress too much, snap out of it, and get back to your digital life)

Ms. Raji, nice of you to pass on a recipe, will try to make it.
Deepa, I got fooled by the picture of red apples on an apple sapling that I bought a few years ago from a nursery. I thought I was buying Gala apple sapling, but instead, I ended with Granny smith!
Thank you for the thokku recipe Jayanthiji, I'll try it let you know how it turned out. I'll see if I can sneak out with sour apples in my next visit to India.

Yes, they are from our tree from our backyard. They look splendid, but take a bite, and you'll see that it beats our good old tamarind in taste!
Sumathi, I'll try your smoothie recipe one of these days.
Rajam, I figured from Jayaji's murukku picture that she must be an expert in other exotic-recipes too! I'll bother her one of these months to give me an "easy" vadaam recipe.

Wedding seer murukku! I think I've heard my friends talk about it, but since I've only attended one wedding so far, after moving from India to California, I didn't get a chance to be in any weddings in India. Usually, there are no south indian weddings in the summer months of July/August, and that is when I get to visit India (if at all I do).
I remember my granny's friends use to visit her at night to help her family make appalams which used to last her for the entire year. And, my cousins and I used to ask them for some fresh applam dough-balls.
I envy three of my friends who will be leaving next week (to India) for their summer vacation
