Lockdown recipe - Apple, Neem flower Sweet Pachadi

This is a lockdown dish on Tamil New Year's Day  when you cannot get mango.  I though apples would be good replacement for mango.  If you have green apple it will taste better.   Anyway whatever apple you have at home can be used. 

Ingredients

Apple.                                     -  1
Brown Sugar.                        -   1/2 cup
Dried/fresh neem flower.  -    1/4 tsp
Mustard seeds.                     -    1/8 tsp
Red Chilli.                              -    1/2
Oil.                                          -     1/2 tsp
Salt.                                         -     one pinch
Tamarind juice.                   -      2 tbsp


Chop the apples into chunks and cook it with little water till it is mushy.

In a pan add the oil.  When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and neem flower.   When the mustard seeds crackle add red chilli. Saute two three times.  Now add boiled apple, tamarind juice and jaggery.    Mix it in medium low flame till it thickens.   Switch off the flame.
