Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cups onions coarsly chopped
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ginger grated fresh
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin ground seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons coriander ground, seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon fennel ground seeds
1/4 teaspoon cardamon black
1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
2 zucchini quartered & sliced
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup green beans
2 apples firm, tart, cored & cubed
1/2 red bell pepper
1 cup dried apricot chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup strawberries conserve
lemon juice fresh

Steps:

Saute the onions in the peanut oil for 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger & curry spices & continue to saute, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini & water & stir well so that the spices won't stick to the pot. Cover & simmer for 10 minutes. Mix in the green beans, apple, peppers & dried apricots. Simmer gently, covered for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally & add a little more water if needed to prevent sticking. When the fruit & vegetables are quite tender, stir in the raisins, the conserve & the lemon juice. Taste & adjust to your liking if necessary. If you need it to be more spicy, add more cayenne or garam masala. If you want it sweeter, add more conserve. Tarter, add more lemon juice. Serve on a bed of rice, topped with nuts & slices of banana.
