Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium Fuji apple, diced
Spices
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Dash of turmeric
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
- Parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a medium-large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until the onion becomes translucent. If the mixture starts to stick to the pan, add a splash of water to deglaze and prevent burning.
- Add Apple and Spices: Add the diced Fuji apple to the pot and cook until the apple softens slightly. Then stir in the curry powder, ground ginger, and turmeric to coat all ingredients evenly with the spices.
- Add Coconut Milk and Seasonings: Pour in the light coconut milk followed by the granulated sugar, shredded coconut (if using), and soy sauce. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Simmer the Curry: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow flavors to meld.
- Season and Serve: Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
