This recipe is very similar to the one I found in the American Heart Assn. cookbook which calls for 2 cups of cooked chicken. Mix 3 Tbs. flour with one cup of water and add after the mushrooms and onions are cooked. No salt is used. Definitely needs more curry. I love curry and this is a healthy version which tastes good. I didn't think it was fast recipe or maybe I just move slower. With all the chopping, it took me about 45 minutes.

I made this for DH - he is from southern India (not as spicy as they make it there) but an overall hit. The salt seemed a bit too much so I used 1/2 the salt - I also substituted coconut milk for the milk (that is what they use in DH's home state of Kerala) and omitted the apple (I did not have any on hand).

My Mom used to make this once in a while while I was growing up and I've finally been able to find a recipe for it! It's an easy way to get subtle curry taste and really takes no time at all!
