Apple and Bell Peppers Gojju

As usual I came home this afternoon and to my surprise my grand dad had prepared Apple and Bell Peppers Gojju. For those who do not know what Gojju is - it is a tangy gravy usually prepared from Tamarind. Needless to say, the gojju was excellent and I enjoyed my afternoon food. The best part of this dish is that it is very healthy - it has apples. Thought I would share the recipe with you all:

Needed Ingredients:

[1] Apples (of course) - quantity as much as you need
[2] Bell Peppers - quantity as much as you need
[3] Mustard seeds - a teaspoon
[4] Oil/Spray - a couple of teaspoons
[5] Red Chillis - about 4 or 5 depending on the level of the hotness
[6] Tamarind paste - about 1 or 2 teaspoons
[7] Sugar/Splenda - depending on the amount of tamarind you put (usually 1 or 2 teaspoons)
[8] Salt - to taste
[9] Water - as much as is needed

Recipe:

[1] Scrape the skin from the apple and cut it into several small pieces (Disclaimer: Wash the apples first)
[2] Cut the Bell peppers into small peices
[3] Place a frying pan in low flame and put some oil (healthier choice: Fat-Free Oil Spray). Allow the oil to heat for some time
[4] Once the oil is hot enough, put some mustard seeds into the pan and allow the mustard seeds to spatter
[5] Then add the apples and the bell peppers to the pan and mix well
[6] While the mixture of the apples and bell peppers cooks under low flame, prepare the tamarind solution - Mix some tamarind paste to water making sure the paste completely dissolves in water (result should be a black solution)
[7] Pour the tamarind solution into the apples and bell peppers mixture and allow the contents to cook well under low heat
[8] Add some salt and sugar (healthier choice: Splenda) to the mixture. Sugar/Splenda reduces the intensity of the tanginess of the tamarind. You forget to put this, you will end up with a very tangy gravy.
[9] Allow to cook for a few minutes. Check to see if the bell peppers and apple pieces are cooked. Once cooked turn off the flame and serve hot with rice/chapathis

I have shown a snapshot of the vegetable prepared at our home. It was really tasty especially for people who love tangy flavored dishes.

People, Enjoy!
