Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Aromatics
- ½ large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium Fuji apple, diced
Spices and Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Dash of turmeric
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Liquids and Condiments
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can of light coconut milk
- 1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Optional
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a medium-large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic. If the mixture starts to stick to the pot, add a splash of water to deglaze the pan and prevent burning.
- Cook Apples and Add Spices: Once the onion becomes translucent, add the diced Fuji apple to the pot. Cook until the apple softens, then stir in the curry powder, ground ginger, and turmeric, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the spices.
- Add Liquids and Sweetener: Pour in the light coconut milk, followed by the granulated sugar, shredded coconut (if using), and soy sauce. Stir all ingredients together to combine well.
- Simmer the Curry: Bring the curry mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors and thicken the curry.
- Season and Serve: Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired for added color and freshness.
