DIRECTIONS

Brown the chicken in oil and butter over moderate heat. Remove pieces and set aside.
Lightly saute the onions in the same large skillet or pot.
Stir in the curry powder, return chicken to the pot, and cook for 3-5 minutes, turning the 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 15-20 minutes
until the liquid is reduced.
