Apricot Chicken Curry

apricot chicken curry
This was meant to be a fairly standard, Monday night dish, but after reading through the ingredients, and seeing that it used curry powder we had to re-think. You see, my beautiful boy does not like pepper, and it is abundant in so many commercial curry powders. I bought a different one from Gaganis Bros here is Adelaide, but the boy did not want to risk it.

So, the curry became a bit more complex.

Dice one onion and one garlic clove. Saute them with a little butter. Dice two chicken breast fillets, and add them to the pan, stirring until slightly cooked. Take approx 200g apricots (canned is fine, but if like me your freezer is full of them, use those) set aside about 6 and then puree the rest in a mixer. Add apricot puree to pot so it coats everything. Add 2 tablespoon of tumeric, 1 tablespoon of cumin and 2 tablespoons dried chilli flakes. Taste and season accordingly. Heat through until chicken has cooked completely.

Stir through remaining pieces of apricot and add 1/2 cup frozen peas. Cook for another two minutes. Serve with rice.

I know there are those out there who don't believe in serving fruit with meat, but this was pretty delicious - I urge you to make an exception!

I've always found meat and fruit can go together very well. I like pork with citrus and spices, for instance.

This is a really good-looking recipe, must better than my standard curry which involves Japanese curry paste and way too many peas.

Thanks Walter - it turned out really well (not that I was surprised or anything....)

I too think that pork and citrus, and apples go really well together.
