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.
