Yessss..You read it right,Kashmiri Curried Apple- apples in a curry form.It may sound strange & weird but believe me the curry is very simple yet delicious with rice or rotis.Although everytime apples are eaten raw,this time for a change I tried this.When I first tried this,none of my family members could guess the secret  ingredient rightly.This recipe is adapted from my dear friend,Uma's space.She has taken the recipe from a book'Pats India Food & Cooking'.Thanx to Uma for sharing such an authentic dish.I already have tried this curry twice now and kids will surely love it.It has a perfect blend of sweet,sour & spicy tastes and tastes like sweet pumpkin.Do give this a try to surprise everyone:-)
