Quick Fruit Curry - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 chicken, cut into pieces
2 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 heaping Tbsp. curry powder
1/2 c. fresh apples, diced
1/2 c. dried apricots, chopped
1/2 c. raisins
1 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. vinegar or fresh lemon juice
1/4 c. peanuts, slightly crushed

Preparation

Brown the chicken in oil and butter over moderate heat. Remove pieces and set aside.
Lightly saute the onion in the same large skillet or pot.
Stir in the curry powder; return chicken to the pot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, turning pieces several times. Add the fruits, salt, vinegar and peanuts, with enough water to cover.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 45 minutes.
If the sauce is too thin to ladle well over
rice, cook uncovered another 15 to 20 minutes until liquid is reduced.
