Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons salted butter
a 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
2 ribs of celery, chopped fine
1 large onion, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Granny Smith apples
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
finely chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
steamed rice (recipe follows) as an accompaniment
For steamed rice:
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups unconverted long-grain rice
apple ginger chutney as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a flameproof casserole heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in it brown the chicken, patted dry and seasoned with salt, and transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a plate. Pour off the fat from the casserole, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and in it cook the celery, the onion, and the garlic over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened. Add the apples, cored and chopped, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, the curry powder, the cinnamon, and the cumin and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the broth and the chicken with any juices that have accumulated on the plate, bring the liquid to a boil, and cook the chicken mixture, covered, at a bare simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a serving plate, boil the vegetable mixture, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly, and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and top it with the parsley. Serve the curry with the rice and the chutney.
  • To make steamed rice:
  • In a large saucepan bring 5 quarts water to a boil with the salt. Sprinkle in the rice, stirring until the water returns to a boil, and boil it for 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a large colander and rinse it. Set the colander over a large saucepan of boiling water and steam the rice, covered with a kitchen towel and the lid, for 15 minutes, or until it is fluffy and dry.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right apples: Granny Smith apples are ideal for this curry due to their tartness and ability to hold their shape. Granny Smith apples are also high in dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
  • Selecting the curry paste: For a medium spice level, use 2 tablespoons of red curry paste. For a milder curry, use green curry paste.
  • Coconut milk: Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer flavor and creamier texture. Coconut milk is high in lauric acid, capric acid, and caprylic acid, which have antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties.
  • Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great option for this curry as they are flavorful and juicy. Remember to cook the chicken thoroughly to ensure it's safe to consume.
  • Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the curry, such as bell peppers, carrots, or green beans. This will add more flavor and variety to the dish.
  • Garnish: Garnish the finished curry with fresh cilantro or basil for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Granny Smith apple curry chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the sweet and tart flavors of apples with the aromatic spices of a curry paste. It's a perfect meal for a weeknight dinner or a weekend lunch. Serve it with rice or your favorite flatbread, and enjoy the unique and flavorful combination of ingredients.
