Cooking method

Step 1:

To make this curry sauce, you'll need a tart apple, an onion, salt, curry powder, garlic, a little fresh ginger, and chicken broth. Let's get started. Cut the onion into a small dice, and grate the garlic on a fine grater or mince it with a knife.
Step 2:

Sauté the onion in the butter over low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes or so. Peel and core the apple and grate it on the coarse side of a grater. Add it to the onion and simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Step 3:

Add the salt, curry powder, and finely grated ginger. If you like, add a little red chili and turmeric. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
Step 4:

Add the broth and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. You can use vegetable broth instead of chicken. Chicken is a regular at our table — I break one down, the legs and breast go into main dishes, and I make broth from the carcass and wings, portioning it into small containers to keep in the freezer.
Step 5:

Blend the sauce until smooth, then simmer for another 5 minutes. You can adjust the thickness yourself — for a thicker sauce, simmer it longer. You can also stir in a little chopped fresh herbs.
Step 6:

This sauce is perfect with chicken. You can cut chicken breast into small cubes, fry it, pour the sauce over it, and simmer. Or use already-cooked meat and just spoon the sauce over it when serving. Rice, pasta, or vegetables all make a great side. Enjoy!

Curry powder is packed with spices and herbs — turmeric, cumin, chili, cloves, fenugreek, nutmeg, and more than you can list. The turmeric gives the dish its bright, sunny color, while the ginger and chili add warming notes. Just a pinch of curry can transform any boiled vegetables, rice, or meat.
