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 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 Aromatics: In a medium-large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic. If they start to stick to the pan, add a splash of water to deglaze it and prevent burning. Cook until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
- Cook 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, 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 the flavors.
- Simmer the Curry: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to develop flavor.
- Season and Serve: Taste and season the curry with salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if preferred for added freshness and color.
Notes
- This curry offers a balanced taste of sweet, savory, and spicy notes, perfect for those seeking a comforting vegan meal.
- Use Fuji apples for their sweetness and texture; tart green apples can be substituted but may alter the flavor profile.
- Adjust spice levels by modifying curry powder quantity or adding chili flakes if you prefer heat.
- To keep it vegan and allergen-friendly, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce if desired.
- Serve with steamed rice or flatbread to make a complete meal.
