Seb ki Sabzi

🇮🇳 Indian

Banarasi apple curry with fennel and jaggery, sweet-spiced and surprising. Simple, spiced straight-talk food — no gravy to hide behind. Pile beside phulka and a bowl of cooled yogurt.

Prep 13 min Cook 24 min Serves 3 Medium

  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the apple dry and chop it into similar-sized chunks — dry surfaces brown better.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a wide kadhai and crackle cumin seeds; fry the onions till lightly golden.

  3. 3

    Add ginger garlic paste, cook out the raw smell, then bloom the turmeric, chili and coriander in the oil.

  4. 4

    Turn the apple through the masala with the jaggery, clamp on a lid and let the steam work — check after 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Kill the heat, stir through the cilantro and the fennel seeds, and rest five minutes before serving.

Chef's tip

A pinch of sugar balances tomatoes that lean too sharp.
