Indian Apple Halawa

After I bought the book 50 Great Curries of India by Camellia Panjabi a new world opened a door for me. Of'course I have eaten Indian before, in restaurants and take aways. But cooking curries on my own is definitely a new step for me. This dessert is from this book, I only adjusted 2 things – I cooked evaporated milk on my own and I substituted ghee by butter (not a smart thing to do, I know...).

Do you have these ingredients?

10 apples
½ lemon
4-5 tbsp sugar
10 g butter
1 cinnamon stick
5-6 cloves
handful raisins
4-5 tbsp evaporated milk


Step for step

Wash and peel the apples.
Grate them and sprinkle with the sugar.
Add the lemon juice and mix well.

Heat the butter in the skillet.
Add the cinnamon stick and cloves, cook for 1 min.
Add the apples and cook over a high heat for 10 mins.
Add the milk and raisins and cook over a high heat for 8 mins.

Serve warm or cold. We liked both.
