Chicken curry is probably one of the most popular and delectable of all curries. There are many versions out there and I have previously posted three versions (with several more in my pocket) on this blog. Chicken Curry with Kaffir Lime Leaves is a slightly tangy Nyonya (Straits Chinese) version with the addition of asam gelugor and fragrant lime leaves. Chicken Korma with Cashew Nuts is a creamy and mild curry suitable for kids. The Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetable Curry is a simplified one-pot wonder perfect for week nights.

A Mild Curry with Sweet Accents

Today’s Chicken Apricot Curry is another mild curry with sweet accents from dried apricots. Fresh apricots are currently in season but I chose to use dried ones because they are sweeter and hold their shape better. They were a nice counterpoint to the rich creamy sauce. The idea of adding dried apricots was inspired by Northern African and Middle Eastern dishes which often have fruits in them. I also threw in some red and yellow bell peppers to make it a complete one-pot dish.

Please use any kind of curry powder you are familiar with. The taste may differ slightly depending on the mix of spices in it.
