  • Indian Spiced Latkes with Apple Chutney
    Indian Spiced Latkes with Apple Chutney So, it’s the holidays again — or just an occasion for a gathering of family and friends — and latkes are on the menu. Everyone sort of knows how to make them. And they all kind of taste the same. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!) Well these sure don’t. Shake things up a bit with these Indian spiced latkes with apple chutney. They’ve got a little kick from the fresh chile and the masala chaat (an Indian spice mix that’s tangy, sweet and sour, and salty), a depth from cumin seeds you toast and grind yourself (it’s seriously not hard, and the flavor is far superior to any pre-ground spice), the sweetness from the chutney on top. These may not be your conventional latkes, but the result will please your bubbe or your neighbors or whoever is coming over to eat these with you. Ingredients for the apple chutney 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored 2 teaspoons unsalted butter or ghee 1 tablespoon minced ginger 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida (optional, see Cook’s Note for source) 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon sugar, or more to taste 1/2 cup water 2 tablespoons fresh juice from 1 lime 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint for the latkes 1 medium onion (6 ounces) 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, minced 1 Serrano chile, minced (without seeds if you prefer) 3 tablespoons rice flour 1 1/2 teaspoons masala chaat (see Cook’s Note for source) 1 teaspoon toasted ground cumin seeds 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for sprinkling 2 large eggs 3 large russet potatoes (2¼ to 2½ pounds), scrubbed 5 tablespoons vegetable oil 5 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee Special Equipment 2 rimmed baking sheets with wire racks (or 2 baking sheets well lined with paper towels) box grater fine mesh strainer spice grinder (or mortar and pestle) gloves (optional … but use ’em if you got ’em) clean kitchen towel (cotton works best) Directions for the apple chutney Cut the apple into about 1/4-inch dice.

In recent years, the health-promoting effects of vegetable-derived edible oils rich in ALA have attracted attention. ALA has a variety of physiological effects such as anti-arteriosclerotic and antiallergic properties, but is prone to oxidation. Therefore, safety concerns exist with regard to adverse effects on humans induced by its oxides. However, the effects on neuronal cells induced by oxidized ALA-rich oils, such as perilla and linseed oils, have not been fully investigated. This information is very important from the viewpoint of food safety. In this study, we investigated the effects of oxidized perilla and linseed oils, which are rich in ALA, on the toxicity of neuronal SH-SY5Y cells. Perilla and linseed oils were significantly oxidized compared with other edible vegetable oils. These oxidized oils induce neuronal cell death and apoptosis via caspase-dependent and -independent pathways through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.
