Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Aromatics
- ½ large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium Fuji apple, diced
Spices and Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Dash of turmeric
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Liquids and Add-ins
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
Garnish
- Parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté onion and garlic: Heat a medium-large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent. If the ingredients start to stick to the bottom of the pot, add a splash of water to deglaze and prevent burning.
- Add diced apple and spices: Stir in the diced Fuji apple and cook until the apple softens slightly. Then add the curry powder, ground ginger, and turmeric. Mix well to coat the apple and onion mixture evenly with the spices.
- Add liquids and seasoning: Pour in the light coconut milk, then add the granulated sugar, soy sauce, and shredded coconut if using. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Simmer the curry: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the curry simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Season and serve: Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Serve the creamy apple curry hot, garnished with fresh parsley if you like.
