When I ran my own Pub/Restaurant this was the most asked for recipe, I never did share it with my customers but I will share it with you. Feel free to use fresh apricots if you wish or fresh peaches are as good, this is not a true, authentic curry but it is very tasty and wonderful cold the next day. PLEASE buy best curry powder you can afford or make your own.

APRICOT CHICKEN CURRY
I love apricot juice as the base for this curry dish. Chicken drumsticks are an economical meat option, but any bone-in pieces would do. Hold back on the madras curry and peppers to keep this dish mild and flavorful; adjust upward if you enjoy a lot of heat! Over rice, this is a complete meal.
