Was the apple noticeable in a discernible way and if so, will you use it again?

I used a really sweet apple (Gala) it worked well with the sweetness of the onions and (to me anyway) it just added that extra little flavour that i wanted but still got the heat.
Gave this (the madras) to 5 of my friends and they all liked it saying it was very,very moreish and they dont mince there words if it was crap they would definately say, with help from my curry tasters (25 friends) i get some really interesting comments some useful some not but i always take on board what everybody says to me.

You can't say boo to that, fair play to you. Incidentally, I know the IG add Lemon including the rind and pith to their base, I have you tried this and it does impart a certain sweetness. You might like to try that at some point, be careful not to add to much. I know JerryM has just done a few tests with this and was very pleased with the results.
