Indian Rice with Apples

If you're not a fan of curry, turmeric, apples and onion ... might want to pass on this one. Personally, I love, love, love those flavors so this is one of my go to recipes for a quick dinner. While I am fine with it just the way it is, my DOH, Tom, would prefer some kind of meat ... so shrimp, beef, or chicken would work well in it or next to it.

• 1 cup of Basmati rice, cooked (you can substitute white rice)
• 1 - 2 T. coconut oil (or use Ghee for ½)

Melt the coconut oil in a large pan. Add any or all of the following, to taste:

• Chopped onion
• Chopped apples
• Currants
• Curry powder
• Turmeric powder
• Coconut flakes
• Salt and pepper
  
  Basically, just cook and stir until it has the taste you want. Many variables, of course … use your imagination! 
  
  The onions and apples complement each other and the spices. If you aren’t familiar with Indian food, go easy on the turmeric and curry … they have a bit of the bite which is why I add apples and currants.

Experiment!!
