CURRY CHICKEN WITH APPLESAUCE
If you are a curry lover, then this is a recipe that you will really like. The sauce can be made a day ahead and chilled, just rewarm on top of the stove, and add in the chicken, peas, sour cream and coconut milk, simmer and serve. Actually, the sauce is even better if prepared a day ahead as the flavors will intensify. You can also make this with skin on or off chicken pieces, but increase the cooking time.

CHICKEN CURRY WITH GREEN APPLE AND COCONUT CHUTNEY
Steps:
- For Chutney:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Pierce the "eyes" of the coconut with ice pick. Drain off liquid. Bake coconut until shell begins to crack, about 30 minutes. Tap coconut shell all over with hammer to remove shell. (The white meat with its brown skin should fall away from shell; if it doesn't, use paring knife to release meat.) Using paring knife, cut away brown skin, if desired. Rinse coconut. Coarsely chop enough coconut in processor to measure 3/4 cup (reserve remaining coconut for another use.)
- Heat small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes (do not burn). Transfer seeds to plate; cool. Finely grind seeds in spice grinder or in mortar with pestle.
- Core apples; cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Place apples in medium bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Combine 3/4 cup coconut, cumin, apples and all remaining ingredients in processor. Chop finely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.
- For Curry:
- With processor running, drop garlic, chilies and ginger down feed tube and process until minced. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until brown, adding 2 tablespoons water during last minutes of cooking to prevent burning, about 10 minutes. Add chili mixture and 1 tablespoon water; sauté 3 minutes. Add cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and peppercorns; stir 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons water, bay leaves, coriander, cumin, cayenne and turmeric; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes and salt; cook until almost all the liquid evaporates, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces 1 at a time, turning to coat in tomato mixture. Add 1 cup water. Cover; simmer until chicken is cooked through, turning once, about 40 minutes.
- Spoon rice onto plates. Top with chicken and sauce. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with chutney.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
- Brown the Chicken: Before adding the apples and curry sauce, brown the chicken pieces in a large skillet or Dutch oven. This will create a flavorful crust and help to keep the chicken moist.
- Make a Flavorful Curry Sauce: The curry sauce is the star of this dish, so take the time to make it right. Use a good quality curry powder and add plenty of fresh ginger and garlic.
- Simmer the Curry: Once the chicken and apples are added to the curry sauce, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with Rice or Naan: Chicken curry with apples is traditionally served with rice or naan. You can also serve it with quinoa, couscous, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
This chicken curry with apples is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The sweet and tart apples add a unique flavor to the curry sauce, and the chicken is tender and juicy. Serve it with rice or naan for a complete meal.
