I live in the UK. What can I use instead of apple moulds? Alternatively, please let me know where I can buy one. Many thanks

   Hi Bubs, Instead of using the appe moulds, you can directly put spoonfuls of the batter in hot oil and deep-fry them. You can look for appe moulds in the stores where you get kitchen utensils or you can also check for the same online. Do try this recipe and share your valuable feedback with us.

Non-fried Dahi-wada in a apple mould !! Superb idea to sneak in a low-cal snack and yet benefit from the protein.
