It's an interesting tip. I have seen recipes that include pineapple or peach juice in the sauce, I guess adding a bit of fruit and blending wouldn't be too crazy. Why don't you ask him to knock you up a special fruity version and report back. I imagine they wouldn't be very busy on a weekday lunchtime or early evening so I don't see why it would be a problem.

It would also be good to know how much goes in. Too much and it could end up like Indian baby food.

I appreciate that you are sharing the knowledge that you have picked up tgad2007, but it is nonsense nevertheless I'm afraid!

Yes Chris, it's commonly called a MALAYA (and it is sometimes used in a Dhansak)

Chicken and Peach Curry

This uses canned peaches in their syrup so we can remember summer all year long. This calls for a hot curry powder, but if your taste is not so spicy, use a milder version.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon hot curry powder
1 (8 ounce) tin peaches in juice
4 skinless chicken breasts
1 chicken stock cube
1 teaspoon cornflour mixed in 1/2 cup cold water
 
METHOD

Saut? onion in oil until transparent, but not browned.

Stir in the cumin, chili powder, garlic and curry powder, mixing all the time over low heat so spices do not become bitter. Remove from heat.

Chop peach slices, saving juice from can.

In a separate pan, brown the chicken pieces lightly in a little oil.

Place stock cube and peach juice in a glass bowl and microwave until dissolved.

Add onion/spice mixture together with chopped peaches, and dissolved stock/peach juice to chicken and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Stirring to combine, pour over dissolved cornflour to thicken, and allow to simmer for another 3-5 minutes.

Not exactly a BIR favourite admittedly, but a genuine chicken curry ingredient.
