When I ran my own Pub/Restaurant this was the most asked for recipe, I never did share it with my customers but I will share it with you. Feel free to use fresh apricots if you wish or fresh peaches are as good, this is not a true, authentic curry but it is very tasty and wonderful cold the next day. PLEASE buy best curry powder you can afford or make your own.
