Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Aromatics
- ½ large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium Fuji apple, diced
Spices & Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Dash of turmeric
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Liquids & Sauces
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: In a medium-large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and garlic. If sticking occurs, add a splash of water to deglaze the pan, ensuring the ingredients cook evenly without burning.
- Cook apples and spices: Once the onion becomes translucent, add the diced Fuji apple. Cook until the apple softens, then stir in curry powder, ground ginger, and turmeric, coating the mixture thoroughly to release the spices’ fragrance.
- Add liquids and sweeteners: Pour in the light coconut milk, then stir in the granulated sugar, shredded coconut (if using), and soy sauce to combine all flavors well.
- Simmer the curry: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend flavors and thicken the curry slightly.
- Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color and freshness.
