Apple Noodles

A simple recipe to make noodles with apples and corn flour. Here, I have used the apple paste to make the dough for the noodles. You can use corn flour or rice flour, both taste delicious.

• 2 numbers of fresh apples
• 2 to 3 cups of corn flour
• Half coconut
• Sugar to taste
• Salt to taste
• Food color
• A teaspoon of cooking oil

• An Idli steamer works best for this. You can use any steamer available or use a wide mouthed vessel
• Noodle press. I have used a mold with medium holes

• Peel apples
• Cut the peeled apples in to pieces and clean the core
• Place the pieces in a mixer / blender
• Add a pinch of food coloring
• Add salt to taste
• Make paste and store it in a bowl (Do not add any water)

• Now add the corn flour in small quantities to the apple paste and mix well. Do not add any water as the paste has lots of apple juice
• Make the dough to the consistency of potting clay

This step is very important, otherwise you can not press the dough in to noodles

• Heat a teaspoon of any cooking oil in a pan
• Add the dough and lightly temper it

• Boil water in a steamer. Here I have used an Idli cooker. You can use any wide mouthed vessel with a proper lid for this
• Place the Idli pan and spread a clean cotton cloth over it. If you are using a vessel, then tie a cotton cloth on top loosely
• Place the tempered dough in the Noodle press
• Press noodles on the idli pan
• Cover with the lid and cook for about 10 minutes

• After about ten minutes, check to see the noodles are properly cooked. If not, steam for a few more minutes
• remove from the steamer and separate the noodles from the Idli pan
• Brake the hot noodles loose

• The noodles are served with grated coconut, which will add an aroma and taste to the noodles
• Grate about half a coconut using a grater

• Spread the grated coconut over the steamed noodles
• Sprinkle sugar over the hot noodles to your taste
• Serve hot.
