METHOD
- Heat your oil in a large ovenproof saucepan, and fry your onions until tender and transparent.
- Next, add all your spices in a mug, and mix with the ¼ cup of oil to make a curry paste.
- Now, add your courgettes and garlic to the onion mix, stir for a minute or so, then pour in your curry paste. The aroma will be emerging at this point.
- Add your apple pieces, and the remaining ingredients, except for the coconut milk and cream. Allow to simmer gently, adding a tiny bit of water at a time, and mixing.
- Start cooking your rice
- Cover, and let it cook for about 25 minutes – don’t let it dry out, and add a little more water if you need to.
- Finally, add the remaining ingredients, stir and cover. Simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- When it’s ready, uncover for 10 minutes, and it’s ready for serving with the rice
