Quick apple and tomato curry in a rice ring

Apple curry is an old, sweet-and-sour invention of Anglo-Indian cooking: the pairing of apple and curry recalls the curry taste of British households. It is quick, vegetarian, and its serving, with a ring of rice, has a slightly retro feel.

• Toast the curry powder in the butter so its aroma opens up.
• With yogurt or coconut milk it becomes creamier.
• It goes well beside roast chicken or fish.
