Notes

NOTE 1: You can use pork beef, chicken or vegetarian. Try to choose better quality ones. opt for ones with a high percentage of meat (ideally 85% or more).
NOTE 2: I used Keens Curry Powder. You can use any brand of curry powder, but the flavour profile may vary slightly depending on the ingredient list.
NOTE 3: Apple is added for sweetness to balance out the curry. If you grate the apple the sauce will be textured. For a smoother sauce dice the apple or replace it with 2 teaspoons of sugar or a tablespoon of fruit chutney.
