  • 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.

Next, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or so. Then add the rice wine vinegar, tomatoes, stevia, and mustard. Bring the mixture up to a gentle simmer and then reduce the heat, cover the pan and let cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour (or more). Ultimately, the time will vary depending on things like how watery the tomatoes were, to begin with. Stir the chutney from time to time, to ensure it does not scorch. The chutney is done when almost all of the liquid has evaporated from the tomatoes. The consistency should be that of a rather thick jam. Once done, remove from the heat and let cool before adding the fresh basil.
