  • 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.

Here are some important tips to keep in mind when making apple chicken curry recipes.

Tip #1: Choosing the Right Apples

The type of apple you use in your apple chicken curry recipe can make all the difference in taste and texture. It's best to use a firm, tart apple that can hold its shape through the cooking process. Some good options include Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp apples. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can also try using Fuji or Gala apples. Avoid using soft or mushy apples as they can break down quickly and make the sauce too watery.

Tip #2: Sautéing the Onions and Spices

One of the most important steps when making apple chicken curry is sautéing the onions and spices. This process helps to develop the flavors and aromas of the spices, which will infuse throughout the dish. It's crucial that you cook the onions until they're translucent and soft, as this will ensure that they blend well with the curry sauce. When adding the spices, it's important to be mindful of the timing. Avoid adding the spices too early as they can burn and become bitter. Instead, add them after the onions have cooked for a few minutes and cook them for another 1-2 minutes until they're fragrant.

Tip #3: Cooking the Chicken

Cooking the chicken properly is key to a tasty apple chicken curry. It's important to sear the chicken until it's golden brown on both sides before adding it to the curry sauce. This helps to lock in the moisture and flavor of the chicken. Make sure to cook the chicken all the way through, as undercooked chicken can be unsafe to consume. A good way to check if the chicken is fully cooked is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The temperature should read 165°F (74°C).

Tip #4: Creating the Curry Sauce

The curry sauce is the heart of the apple chicken curry recipe. It's essential that you cook the sauce until it's thick and creamy. This helps to concentrate the flavors and ensures that the sauce coats the chicken and apples evenly. To thicken the sauce, you can use a combination of cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce after it has simmered for a few minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Don't add too much cornstarch as it can make the sauce too thick and gloopy.

Tip #5: Adding the Apples

Adding the apples is the final step to creating apple chicken curry. It's important to add the apples at the right time to ensure that they retain their shape and texture. Add the apples during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, stirring gently to coat the apples evenly with the sauce. You can also add a sprinkle of sugar or honey to bring out the natural sweetness of the apples. Be careful not to overcook the apples as they can turn mushy and lose their flavor.

Tip #6: Serving Suggestions

Apple chicken curry is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some great options include rice, naan bread, or roasted vegetables. You can also top the dish with some fresh cilantro or chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunch. When serving the dish, make sure to spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and apples. This helps to keep the dish moist and brings out all the flavors of the curry.
Conclusion
Apple chicken curry is a delicious and nutritious dish that's perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can easily create a mouthwatering meal that your family and friends will love. Remember to choose the right apples, sauté the onions and spices, cook the chicken properly, create a thick and creamy curry sauce, add the apples at the right time, and get creative with your serving suggestions. Happy cooking!
