CHICKEN CURRY 
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 lb. unsalted butter
2 tbsp. chicken fat
3 c. chopped onions
2 c. chopped apples, unpeeled
1 c. sliced bananas
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. pecan halves, pieces
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1 lb. boneless chicken, cut into bite-size chunks
1 1/2 c. chicken stock
3/4 c. cream of coconut
1/2 c. coconut flakes
4 1/2 c. rice

Thoroughly combine seasoning mix and set aside. In a 4 quart saucepan combine the butter, chicken fat, onions and seasoning mix; cook over high heat until the butter melts, stir frequently. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Add 1 cup of apples, the bananas, raisins and pecans. Simmer until mixture is fairly mushy, about 20 minutes.

Combine salt, garlic, pepper and basil; mix well and work into chicken. Stir in seasoned chicken and remaining apples, raise heat to high; cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the stock, cream of coconut and coconut flakes and stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
