            Kiss Me Apple Bowls
 Ingredients:
 1  kg fresh red apples, washed, peeled and grated
 3-4  tbsp pure ghee
 200  gms dry coconut powder
 1/4  tsp red food coloring
 Mava
 1 1/2-2  cups powdered milk
 1  tablespoon ghee
 
 Method:
 First prepare the mava by adding the ghee to the milk powder in a bowl and then adding water, a little at a time, and kneading it like a chappati
 dough. Wrap the prepared dough in a light cotton cloth. Put it in a pressure cooker and cook upto 3 whistles. Now prepare the cute apple bowls.
 To do this, extract the juice out of the grated apple by pressing it. Heat a non-stick pan on medium flame. Pour 3-4
            tbsps. ghee in it. Add the
 grated apples to it. Stir it on medium heat for 2 minutes. Now, take out the
            boiled mava from the pressure cooker. Grate the boiled mava finely.
 Add the grated mava to the apple in the non-stick pan. Stir it for 2 minutes, mixing very well, as you cook it. Remove from flame. Allow it to cool
 slightly. Make small round balls out of it. Now, with your forefinger, press a little on it and then dip it in a mixture of red food
            color and
 coconut powder. Likewise, repeat for all the little apple bowls. Garnish it with little apple slices and serve.
