Ingredients

Finely chopped apples - 1 cup (use red or green apples which are preferably sour)
Red chili powder - 2 tbsp (adjust according to your requirement)
Salt - to taste
Oil - 6 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Fenugreek seeds - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida - a generous pinch
Sugar - 1 tsp (optional)
Curry leaves
Garlic cloves - 3-4(optional)

Directions

Heat the oil in a kadai. For any type of pickles, sesame oil tastes good. When it becomes hot, add the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds.
When it splutters, add the garlic cloves, curry leaves, asafoetida and saute for a minute.
Then add the apples. Saute for just couple of minutes and switch off the gas.
Next add the red chili powder, salt, sugar (add only if you prefer sweetness in pickles) and mix well. If the sourness in apples is not sufficient, add a few drops of lemon juice. Just like any other pickle, the amount of salt, chili powder and sourness should be perfectly balanced.
Allow it to cool and store in a airtight container. This could be consumed within two to three days. If you refrigerate, you can have it for a maximum of one week.
