In the video by @MFuturewala, we see a woman deep frying apples in a kadhai. She takes them out of the vessel and sets them aside. Next, she combines a variety of ingredients including crushed peanuts, spices, a type of flour and some of the oil used for frying. Once this mixture is ready, she starts removing the cores of the deep-fried apples. She then fills the centre of the fruit with the prepared mixture.
In a separate kadhai, she adds oil and lets some seed splutter in it. Next, she adds chopped onions, tomatoes and masalas. She sautees and stirs this mixture thoroughly. Once cooked, she pops in the stuffed apples. She then adds the remaining peanut mixture from earlier to the kadhai. She continues to combine the ingredients well. Later, she adds some water over the sabzi and allows it to cook further. She serves the sabzi with bread slices and green peppers on the side. "Apple sabzi a day keeps the doctor away," reads the caption. Watch the full video here:
