3

in a Heavy Large Skillet, Heat the Oil Over Moderate Heat Until It Is Hot Enough That a Haze Forms Above It; Brown the Meat in the Hot Oil in 2 or 3 Batches, Turning the Meat Even Ly to Get Them a Good Rich Brown Color; as They Brown Transfer to a Plate and Set Aside. |
4
Done

Pour Off All but About 2 Tbsps of the Fat from the Pan and Drop in the Onions; Stir Constantly and Scrape Up the Browned Bits from the Bottom of the Pan; Cook the Onions For About 3 to 4 Minutes, Until They Are Soft. |
5
Done
|
Reduce the Heat to Low, Add the Curry Powder and Stir For 2 Minutes or So to Toast the Curry a Bit, Thus Intensifying It's Flavor ( a Step You Should Always Take When Using Curry Powder; It Leeches Any Bitterness from Some of the Stronger Spices in Curry). |

Return the Meat to the Pan, Along With Any Liquid That Has Accumulated Around It; Stir in the Fruits Along With Their Soaking Water, the Vinegar and the Lemon Juice. |
7

Partially Cover the Skillet and Simmer For About One Hour or Until the Meat Is Tender and Shows No Resistance When Poked With a Sharp Knife. |
9
Done
|
Check the Pan Periodically and If It Looks Too Dry, Add Up to a 1/4 Cup Water, a Few Tablespoons at a Time; When the Curry Is Done However, Most of the Liquid Should Be Dried Up as This Is a Dryer Curry not a Soupy One. |
10
Done
|
Taste For Seasoning and Mound the Curry on a Heated Platter; Just Before Serving Sprinkle With the Peanuts and Slice the Bananas and Arrange Around the Curry. |
11
Done
|
Serve With Hot Rice, Preferably Jasmine, and Your Favorite Chutney. |
12
Done
|
Also, I Like a Hotter Curry and Have Found That Adding an Additional 1/2 Tbsp of Curry Powder or Paste Does the Trick, Especially If I Am Serving With a Hot Chutney. |
