This fruity curry is a speciality of the Kerala region of India. The sweet acidity of the fresh fruit gives the spices an extra zing, whilst also tenderising the meat. Make this curry either as spicy as you dare or reduce the spices for a warming flavour rich sauce. The quantity of natural yoghurt can be decreased to a quarter if you are watching the calories, but even without doing so, this is an ideal recipe for those on a low fat diet. The quantities shown serve 2. This is ideally served with steamed rice.
