Ingredients

4 sweet-tart apples, such as Braeburn or Mutsu, unpeeled (may substitute Granny Smith)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne or other hot red chile powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
3 tablespoons natural sesame oil (untoasted) or neutral vegetable oil
2 teaspoons black mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon asafoetida (hing) powder, available in specialty stores or online

Turn off heat and stir in asafoetida, then add contents of skillet to bowl. Add remaining sesame oil and lime juice and mix well. Leave 15 minutes for flavor to infuse.
