Sometimes it is fun to cook with fruits and I have tried out some recipes with apples. Here is a unique apple kofta curry in rich gravy made with onion and cashew nut paste. If you are making it for a party you can even stuff the koftas with some chopped dry fruits.
Ingredients:

Potatoes ... 1 large
Corn kernels .... ¼ cup
Bread crumbs ... 4-5 tbsps

7.

soaked cashew nuts and little water as needed.
