Granny Smith apples give this simple and easy curry recipe some tartness.

A curry pocket of sorts.

Granny Smiths tend to mush up as they cook, which actually creates the thickness of this curry.

I followed a fairly bare bones approach here.

Traditionally this curry is served with Indian roti bread.

Green Apple Curry

Just a standard yellow curry powder mix will do here.

Add the garlic and let cook until the garlic starts to get browned.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the garlic from the oil.

Discard (or eat as a snack) the garlic.

Add the chopped onions to the pan and let cook until translucent (about 4 minutes).

Stir with a spoon until you have a smooth, thin paste.

Once the onions are translucent, stir in the curry paste.

Let bubble and cook for 1 minute.

Stir in the butter.

Add the chopped apples and salt to the pan.

Add 1 1/2 cups of water, or enough water to just almost cover the apples.

Stir in the brown sugar.

Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.

Let cook, uncovered, on a low simmer for 30 minutes, until thickened and cooked through.

Add more water if needed if the mixture starts to stick to the pan.

Traditionally served with soft roti bread.
