My husband has raw apple allergy so he's excused and my daughter just decided not to eat them and that left poor me to finish all the apples. There was no way I could finish them; so then, I came up with this idea of an apple sabji! Strangely my husband does not have the allergy for cooked apples! 1 green chilli, slit. 1/4 " piece of grated ginger. Heat oil in the pan.
