Green apple puliyodarai | apple pulihora – Easy and interesting puliyodarai recipe using apples – Recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.

Puliyodarai | pulihora is a popular rice recipe from South India. I have already posted few versions of puliyodarai like Kalayana puliyodarai, kovil puliyodarai, Andhra pulihora and puliyodarai podi too. I have tried Methi leaves puliyodarai too. This apple puliyodarai is in my to-do list for a very long time.

Usually, I buy the Granny Smith green apple to add to the green smoothie. Also, we make instant green apple pickle, which is my personal favorite too. Once I saw one of my friends make this apple puliyodarai and posted it on Instagram. He didn’t share the recipe but the idea inspired me a lot.
