Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium Fuji apple, diced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Dash of turmeric
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can of light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a medium-large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic. If the ingredients begin to stick to the pot, add a splash of water to deglaze and prevent burning.
- Cook Apples and Spices: Once the onions turn translucent, add the diced Fuji apple. Continue cooking until the apple softens, then stir in the curry powder, ground ginger, and turmeric, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the spices.
- Add Coconut Milk and Seasonings: Pour in the light coconut milk, then add the granulated sugar, shredded coconut (if using), and soy sauce. Stir well to combine all elements.
- Simmer the Curry: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to meld the flavors.
- Season and Serve: Taste and season the curry with salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if you like.
